Isikole sokuqala seminyaka emine sobudokotela bezilwane e-Utah sithole incwadi yesiqinisekiso evela kudokotela waseMelikaUdokotela wezilwaneIKomidi Lezemfundo Lenhlangano Yezokwelapha ngenyanga edlule.
Ikolishi lase-University of Utah (USU)Imithi YezilwaneIthole isiqinisekiso esivela kwi-American Veterinary Medical Association Committee on Education (AVMA COE) sokuthi izothola imvume yesikhashana ngoMashi 2025, okuphawula isinyathelo esikhulu sokuba uhlelo lweziqu zezilwane lweminyaka emine oluhamba phambili e-Utah.
“Ukwamukela Incwadi Yesiqinisekiso Esinengqondo kusinika indlela yokufeza ukuzibophezela kwethu ekuthuthukiseni odokotela bezilwane abavelele abangagcini nje ngokuba ochwepheshe abanolwazi, kodwa futhi nabangochwepheshe abanozwela abakulungele ukubhekana nezinkinga zempilo yezilwane ngokuzethemba nangokukwazi,” kusho uDirk VanderWaal, i-DVM, esitatimendeni sezindaba esivela enhlanganweni. 1
Ukuthola le ncwadi kusho ukuthi uhlelo lwe-USU manje selusendleleni yokuhlangabezana nemigomo yokugunyazwa engu-11, okuyizinga eliphakeme kakhulu lempumelelo emfundweni yezilwane e-United States, kusho uVanderWaal esitatimendeni. Ngemva kokuba i-USU imemezele ukuthi iyitholile le ncwadi, yavula ngokusemthethweni izicelo zekilasi lokuqala, futhi abafundi abavunyelwe kulindeleke ukuthi baqale izifundo zabo ekwindla ka-2025.
Ngokusho kwesitatimende sabezindaba, i-Utah State University ibeka lesi sigameko emuva ngo-1907, lapho iBhodi Labaphathiswa be-Utah State University (eyayikade iyi-Utah College of Agriculture) iphakamisa umqondo wokudala ikolishi lezokwelapha izilwane. Kodwa-ke, lo mbono wahlehliswa kwaze kwaba ngu-2011, lapho iSishayamthetho sase-Utah State sivotela ukuxhasa nokudala uhlelo lwemfundo yezilwane ngokubambisana neKolishi Lezolimo Nesayensi Esetshenziswayo lase-Utah State University. Lesi sinqumo sango-2011 saphawula ukuqala kokubambisana neWashington State University. Abafundi bezilwane base-Utah State University baqeda iminyaka yabo yokuqala emibili yokufunda e-Utah bese beya ePullman, eWashington, ukuyoqeda iminyaka yabo yokugcina emibili bese bephothula. Ubambiswano luzophela ngokuphothula kweKilasi lika-2028.
“Lesi yisinyathelo esibaluleke kakhulu eKolishi Lezokwelapha Zezilwane eNyuvesi yase-Utah. Ukufinyelela lesi sinyathelo kukhombisa umsebenzi onzima wabo bonke abafundisi kanye nabaphathi beKolishi Lezokwelapha Zezilwane, ubuholi beNyuvesi yase-Utah, kanye nababambiqhaza abaningi kulo lonke izwe abasekele ngentshiseko ukuvulwa kwekolishi,” kusho u-Alan L. Smith, MA, Ph.D., umongameli wesikhashana weNyuvesi yase-Utah.
Abaholi bezifundazwe babikezela ukuthi ukuvula isikole sezilwane esifundazweni sonke kuzoqeqesha odokotela bezilwane bendawo, kusize ekusekeleni imboni yezolimo yase-Utah ebiza u-$1.82 billion futhi kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo zabanikazi bezilwane ezincane kulo lonke izwe.
Esikhathini esizayo, i-Utah State University inethemba lokukhulisa ubukhulu bamakilasi bube ngabafundi abangu-80 ngonyaka. Ukwakhiwa kwesakhiwo esisha sesikole sezokwelapha sezilwane esixhaswe nguhulumeni, esakhiwe yi-VCBO Architecture eseSalt Lake City kanye nosonkontileka ojwayelekile uJacobson Construction, kulindeleke ukuthi kuqedwe ehlobo lika-2026. Amakilasi amasha, amalabhorethri, isikhala sothisha, kanye nezindawo zokufundisa maduze nje zizolungela ukwamukela abafundi abasha kanye neSikole Sezokwelapha Kwezilwane ekhaya laso elisha elihlala njalo.
I-Utah State University (USU) ingenye yezikole eziningi zezilwane e-US ezilungiselela ukwamukela abafundi bayo bokuqala, futhi ingenye yezikole zokuqala esifundazweni sayo. Isikole saseRowan University iSchreiber School of Veterinary Medicine eHarrison Township, eNew Jersey, silungiselela ukwamukela abafundi abasha ekwindla ka-2025, kanti iHarvey S. Peeler, Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine yaseClemson University, esanda kuvula ikhaya layo elizayo, ihlela ukwamukela abafundi bayo bokuqala ekwindla ka-2026, kusalindwe ukugunyazwa yi-American Veterinary Medical Association's Council of Veterinary Schools of Excellence (AVME). Zombili lezi zikole zizoba yizikole zokuqala zezilwane ezifundazweni zazo.
I-Harvey S. Peeler, Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine isanda kubamba umcimbi wokusayina ukusungula lo msebe.
