Traditionally, veterinary surgeons have been seen as a collective authority, a homogeneous group of professionals to whom a shared ethical stance was believed to be enough to face the challenges of veterinary practice. However, the profession has changed over recent years from a community dominated by male farm animal practitioners to become increasingly mixed in terms of gender, background and specialization. The development of veterinary specializations reflects recent changes in animal use with more focus on companion animal medicine. This has been accompanied by a greater debate within society about the moral status of animals, where the veterinarian’s view is far from uniform and increasingly questioned. This changing environment in combination with an increasing call for greater transparency in decision-making presents a new challenge for the veterinary profession. One of the ways in which this challenge may be effectively met at an institutional level is through veterinary ethics teaching. The aim of this paper is to discuss how teaching veterinary ethics can help future veterinarians deal with an increasingly challenging professional environment. It will be argued that the ability to ethically reflect is of key importance for the profession because it allows veterinarians to understand their different roles and responsibilities as well as appreciating the expectations of different stakeholders in modern society. It is therefore crucial that veterinary training provides students not only with professional role-models, but also with conceptual tools that allow them to see issues from different points of view. Ethics teaching for veterinary students is being developed in many institutions, using different approaches. This paper will present some of the main approaches applied at several veterinary schools in Europe and will explore to what extent they may advance ethical reflection skills in future veterinarians.
