CHALLENGES IN YOUR DISCIPLINE

Veterinary is a career that gives importants challenges because it has significant areas that are in constant renewal for to work with living things. One of those areas is the technology. This area has an important place among the others by being an effective tool in the detection of diseases. Within the area of the image, we must highlight the significant progress that has been achieved through the TAC, computed radiography and ultrasound, which has led to unimaginable. But with all this facilities, where is the challenge? Well, the challenge is in the knowing of how to use all this, and investigate new utilities to the technology. All this technology requires study and practice, and the progress has been made. In all the disciplines we can do something about the social matters, in veterinary we can do that too. There are projects and work planes that are used for municipalities and even for entire cities. Personally I know one example of both, in projects there is TVV or volunteer veterinary work that works in our faculty. They help people in remote locations from large cities and receive little help from the government. Example for work planes, there is Veterinary clinic "El roble", that works in one of the municipalities with poor people and not so poor. They work with the help of the La Pintana municipality. Other area, which can be viewed from two angles, is the education, one angle is related with the social matter is the education about the pets and the farm animals of poor people, and even normal people can recive some education about this theme. The other point of view is the education in the university, where veterinaries teach to the students how to be a veterinary. A good one. We have in the faculty very good teachers, who are vet. They have a challenge too, is the renewal of all the education system. They have some problems accustomed to the rhythm of the classes and all the organization. We have challenges all the time, in all the places, and we have to use to it, because for us, it's a life style.

IMPROVING YOUR FACULTY FACILITIES

The current situation in the faculty is very hard, because there are so many problems, problems which I had not realized. Not all the problems are in the facilities, but, in the organization too. In the past weeks I only listened about one test for my friends in the 8th semester, it's about a subject called "Medicine", they have to do an exam with content of all the year. If you think, in cold blood, that's not a problem for people who work very hard and manage to reach their goal, but in the sitution, it is a very big problem, because, it's not the only subject in their semester, and even worse, it's about people those are not involved with the subject. I try to listen for to get a better perspective, and they blame to the study secretary for not give them the oportunities to fix all this problems. They are very angry with the handling that makes the student affairs not only them but also with the entire student affairs in the faculty. The improvement needed in here, it's a change in the form to treat all the students, I know a sentence that he always says: " I don't work here for to make friends...". that's ok, but the treat is another thing, and I don't say that be the expresion or he was rude with us, it's the fact of how he does the things. My friends and all the students made the first step, which was talk about this with the comunity. This sitution has only one solution, in my opinion, that's be the communication between the parts. The benefits, well, everybody knows and you do not need to say that.

Wetherby in spotlight again after four horses killed at troubled track

RSPCA experts keeping close watch on Wetherby racecourse due to the death of 4 racehorses. Two horses died in the main race, while another horse was seriously injured and the winner had injuries too. Since the course of the race was changed, the racing has been questioned even by the road surface. The deaths of Divex and Marrel overshadowed the remainder of the racing action. All this facts are dirtying an important sport like the racehorse. Although the British Horseracing Authority has conducted regular inspections at the track. According to Animal Aid's DeathWatch website, five horses were also injured fatally at Wetherby before, so that fact tell us that it isn’t a coincidence. The incidents continues once and again even when there are important inspectors like witness in all the events. There is a equine consultants studying veterinary reports into the horses’ deaths too, before reporting back to the authorities. The inspectors says maybe in the future, they advise that racing should only be taking place when the ground is good or slower. He walked the course before the racing and felt that improvements had been made to the surface since the spate of fatalities earlier in the year. He says that the old parts of the course are fine.
