Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU), established in 1945, has long been recognized for its excellence in agricultural education. The university has evolved from its early days as a vocational school into a leader in agribusiness and veterinary medicine. With a focus on hands-on learning, TAU ensures that its students are not only academically prepared but also equipped with practical skills to meet the dynamic demands of the veterinary field. As technology becomes an integral part of veterinary care, TAU is adapting its curriculum to include modern tools, preparing students for a future where digital solutions are essential.
The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at TAU is deeply committed to offering students a balanced education that combines rigorous academics with real-world experiences. Kreloses, a veterinary clinic software, plays a crucial role in this approach by providing students with the system they need to streamline clinic operations and improve patient care. In a recent seminar, students explored Kreloses' features including the Sweetpew online booking system, which allows veterinary practices to manage appointments, patient data, and client communication with ease.
During the seminar, students shared their primary concerns about their future careers in veterinary medicine. The most common worry was a lack of confidence when handling real cases, followed by the challenge of managing heavy workloads. Financial stress and keeping up with digital advancements also emerged as key concerns. These insights highlight the complex nature of the veterinary profession and the importance of providing the right tools to manage these challenges. Kreloses helps address these issues by improving clinic efficiency, reducing administrative tasks, and allowing future veterinarians to focus more on patient care and their professional growth.
The seminar left a lasting impression on Doc Lavina, the Dean of CVM, who was impressed by Kreloses, a system previously unfamiliar to them. Both Doc Lavina and the students actively participated, asking insightful questions about how veterinary clinic software can improve clinical operations and patient care. This exchange emphasized the value of introducing technology early in students' education, ensuring they are prepared for the challenges they will face in their careers.
Students were particularly interested in how they could integrate Kreloses and similar tools into their future practices. Their enthusiasm for using digital tools to enhance care and bridge the gap between traditional veterinary practices and modern technology shows their readiness to adapt and lead the future of veterinary care.
By incorporating Kreloses into its programs, TAU ensures that its students not only gain the essential veterinary knowledge but also acquire the digital skills required to succeed in a modern, tech-driven profession. As TAU continues to build on its legacy of excellence, its students are well-positioned to make a meaningful impact on veterinary care and animal welfare across the Philippines.
