Description
The Faculty Exchange Program is requesting the design and delivery of training activities for African university professors in Veterinary Science. The program aims to improve veterinary education and research in selected African nations. The training program will be designed and organized in conjunction with U.S. universities, USDA, and other government agencies. The program will include follow-up visits by U.S. host professors to the participants' universities to assess progress in implementation of courses developed and encourage collaboration between U.S. and participating universities.
• The program will provide a one semester training program at U.S. Land Grant Agricultural Universities.
• Participants will be able to upgrade their technical knowledge in their subject area and learn new teaching methods.
• Each participant will revise and modernize their class outlines for introduction at their home university after they return.
• Participants will travel to laboratories, farms, agribusinesses, and government offices to gain an understanding of how the veterinary science and animal health systems operate in the United States.
