Data Sheet 1_An upstream approach to veterinary workforce wellbeing: an evaluative review of an embedded wellbeing curriculum in veterinary education.pdf

The review examined how wellbeing science was integrated across the formal curriculum and identified priorities for strengthening alignment, delivery, assessment, and evaluation. The intended learning outcomes were conceptually appropriate, developmentally sequenced, and aligned most strongly with CBVE® Domain 7. However, constructive alignment with assessment was incomplete.

Opportunities for applied practice and feedback were limited, no explicit formal wellbeing curriculum was present in the final clinical year, and links among wellbeing, communication, and systems-level contributors were infrequent. Priorities included greater vertical integration, intentional learning design, applied professional practice, formative reflection, educator development, and longitudinal evaluation. Because systematic student and educator feedback was not collected, the findings describe the formal curriculum but do not establish how it was experienced or whether it improved learner outcomes.

The study offers an adaptable process for reviewing, refining, and evaluating embedded wellbeing curricula within existing veterinary education structures from a systems-informed perspective.</p>
