How can your institution move from fragmented competency tracking to confident, accreditation-ready evidence?
Earlier this year, we published an article on Evidencing Day One Competencies in Veterinary Education, exploring the challenges veterinary schools face in systematically tracking and verifying graduate readiness. The response from veterinary educators around the world has been remarkable — and the conversations it sparked made one thing clear: this is a challenge that resonates deeply across institutions, accrediting frameworks, and borders.
Many of you reached out with questions about how ePortfolio-based competency tracking works in practice, how it maps to specific accreditation frameworks, and what the transition from legacy systems actually looks like. With so many wrestling with the same fundamental question - how do we build a competency evidence base that is robust, transparent, and sustainable - we have decided to run a dedicated webinar to answer your questions properly.

What We'll Cover
This session is designed for veterinary educators who want to understand how a purpose-built ePortfolio can transform the way Day One Competencies are evidenced across a programme.
We'll walk through:
Mapping competency frameworks into a living evidence system. Whether your institution works to RCVS, CBVE 2.0, AVMA, EAEVE, AVBC, or your own institutional framework, we'll demonstrate how assessments, clinical encounters, skills logs, and reflections can be linked directly to specific competencies — creating a portfolio that builds meaningfully throughout the student journey.
Real-time workplace-based assessment in clinical settings. Veterinary education happens in hospitals, on farms, and in the field. We'll show how clinical supervisors can complete assessments on mobile devices — including offline — using tools such as Mini-CEX, DOPS, case-based discussions, and professional behaviour assessments, so that evidence is captured where learning actually happens.
Giving students visibility of their own progress. When learners can see which competencies they've achieved, which are in progress, and where gaps remain, they become active participants in their own development. We'll explore how real-time progress dashboards shift the dynamic from passive hope to purposeful engagement.
Dashboards and analytics for programme oversight. For program leaders, aggregated data is essential for curriculum review, quality assurance, and identifying cohort-wide patterns. We'll demonstrate how institutional dashboards support evidence-based decisions about curriculum design and placement allocation.
Preparing for accreditation with confidence. When accreditors ask how you know your graduates are Day One ready, the answer should be clear and immediate. We'll show how a complete competency portfolio — encompassing workplace assessments, skills sign-offs, reflective entries, and supervisor feedback — provides the documented, verifiable evidence that accreditation bodies expect.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is for veterinary educators and leaders at any institution seeking to strengthen their approach to competency assurance, including:
Deans and heads of veterinary schools
Programme directors and curriculum leads
Directors of assessment and quality assurance
Clinical placement coordinators
Accreditation and compliance leads
Whether you are currently reviewing your competency tracking processes, preparing for an upcoming accreditation visit, or exploring ePortfolio solutions for the first time, this session will offer practical insight into what a structured, evidence-based approach looks like in practice.
A Growing Global Conversation
The original article drew engagement from educators around the world. Day One Competency frameworks may differ in their specifics from one accrediting body to the next, but the underlying challenge is universal: how do we ensure that every graduate has genuinely demonstrated the skills, knowledge, and professional behaviours required to enter independent practice?
MyProgress is already supporting veterinary, medical, and nursing programmes at over 65 universities worldwide. This webinar is an opportunity to see how that experience translates to the specific demands of veterinary competency-based education.
