Abstract:

The benefits of comparative psychology for veterinary students and veterinary education in general are highlighted in this article. Since comparative psychology is the most ancient of the social sciences, it has amassed more than three centuries of expertise in fields including animal behavior, human-animal interactions, and research design. We look through all of the course catalogs offered by veterinary colleges in the United States to see whether comparative psychology is taught there. Comparative psychology was not taught by any of the schools assessed, and there were discrepancies across the schools’ offerings of courses on animal behavior, ethics, and animal–human interaction. There are recommendations given on how to use comparative psychology concepts to undergraduate and graduate veterinary education. Summary:Among the natural science subfields of psychology, comparative psychology is the oldest social science. Comparative psychology should be taught in veterinary schools, according to this article, which is the first to propose this idea. Comparative psychology encompasses a variety of inherent connections to veterinary students’ education. The study of ethics, animal behavior, research methods, and animal welfare are some of these connections.

Keywords: Teaching, Veterinary Education, and Comparative Psychology.
