Where the value of “analytical intelligence” (IQ) has traditionally maintained pre-eminence in veterinary medical education, there is an increasing need for students to develop “emotional intelligence” (EQ). Educators often refer to the qualities encompassed by EQ as “non-technical competencies” and acknowledge that veterinarians require more training in this area to be successful.
This gap analysis report investigates differences between international best practice and current methods of disseminating these non-technical capabilities to Veterinary Undergraduates in New Zealand.

Background:
This project, completed in 2009 by Massey University, aimed to compare the dissemination strategies at four international veterinary schools (University of Sydney; Nottingham University; Washington State University; Murdoch University) with the dissemination approach at the New Zealand Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences at Massey University in Palmerston North.
