At a Glance: In early 2026, veterinary schools in Hong Kong, France, and Australia—including City University of Hong Kong, UniLaSalle, Murdoch University, University of Adelaide, and James Cook University—are implementing MyProgress to meet Day One Competencies, AVBC, RCVS, AVMA, and EAEVE accreditation requirements for competency-based veterinary education.
The start of 2026 marks an exciting period for MyProgress, as veterinary schools across three continents begin their journeys with our ePortfolio platform. From Hong Kong to France, and across Australia, institutions are choosing MyProgress to support their students in tracking clinical competencies and demonstrating readiness for practice.
MyProgress is a cloud-based ePortfolio platform purpose-built for healthcare and veterinary education, enabling students to track clinical competencies, log procedures, and demonstrate readiness for practice against accreditation standards.
New Partnerships Spanning the Globe
This month, we're delighted to welcome City University of Hong Kong—ranked among the top 100 universities globally— which has selected MyProgress for its College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences, and UniLaSalle's Veterinary School in France to the MyProgress community. Both institutions have just begun their implementations, joining a growing international network of veterinary educators committed to evidence-based competency tracking.
In Australia, the momentum continues. Murdoch University's School of Veterinary Medicine is now live with MyProgress, while The University of Adelaide's School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences has successfully launched two of its five programmes, with the remaining three to follow. Meanwhile, James Cook University's School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences is preparing for go-live.
Why are veterinary schools switching to ePortfolio platforms?
These adoptions reflect a broader shift in veterinary education. Accreditation bodies worldwide increasingly expect programmes to demonstrate that graduates meet Day One Competencies through robust evidence portfolios. Students need intuitive tools to capture clinical experiences in the moment, while educators need visibility into cohort progress and individual development.
MyProgress was designed with these challenges in mind, developed in partnership with veterinary schools who understood the unique demands of clinical placements, diverse species exposure, and the breadth of competencies required for modern veterinary practice.
Which accreditation standards does MyProgress support?
MyProgress can be configured to support Day One Competencies, such as AVBC, RCVS, AVMA, EAEVE, and also regional standards.
What features should a veterinary ePortfolio have?
Unlike generic portfolio tools, MyProgress was co-developed with veterinary educators to address sector-specific requirements including multi-species logging, EPA-based assessment, and placement rotation tracking. MyProgress offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored to the complexities of veterinary training:
Flexible Competency Frameworks
Each institution can configure MyProgress to reflect its own curriculum structure and the competency standards of its accrediting body. Whether your programme aligns with RCVS Day One Competences, AVMA COE standards, or regional frameworks, the platform adapts to your requirements rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Clinical Skills and Procedures Tracking
Students log hands-on experience across a configurable skills matrix, recording species, case type, and level of supervision. This creates a detailed picture of clinical exposure over time, making it straightforward to identify gaps and ensure breadth of experience before graduation.
Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs)
For schools adopting EPA-based assessment, MyProgress supports the capture of workplace-based assessments with entrustment ratings, enabling supervisors to provide in-the-moment feedback on student readiness to perform key activities independently.
Intramural and Extramural Placement and Rotation Management
The platform tracks where students are placed throughout their programme, whether at university clinics, external practices, or specialist referral centres, providing oversight for placement coordinators and ensuring equitable distribution of learning opportunities.
Multi-Source Feedback and Reflection
Students can gather feedback from clinical supervisors, peers, and clients, then reflect on their development within the platform. This evidence accumulates into a meaningful narrative of professional growth, invaluable for both formative development and summative assessment.
Real-Time Dashboards and Reporting
Educators gain access to cohort-level analytics, enabling them to track learner progress and identify students who may need additional support. Detailed and exportable reports provide completion of specific assessments within a student's portfolio, across a cohort, ideal for auditing and accreditation.
Mobile-First Design
Recognising that much of veterinary learning happens in clinical settings, often with animals that don't wait for paperwork, MyProgress is designed for mobile use, allowing students and supervisors to capture evidence and feedback in the moment. Offline functionality enables learners to capture evidence on placements, even without connectivity, and sync later for seamless record-keeping.
How do veterinary schools share best practices in competency-based education?
What excites us most about this growth isn't simply the numbers, it's the opportunity to connect veterinary educators across institutions and borders. Each school brings its own curriculum design, assessment philosophy, and regulatory context, and we learn from every implementation.
As our veterinary community expands, we're committed to facilitating knowledge-sharing between institutions through user groups, case studies, and collaborative development of new features that serve the sector's evolving needs.
If your institution is exploring ePortfolio solutions for veterinary education, we'd welcome a conversation about how MyProgress might support your students and faculty. Contact us to learn more.
