title: Tackling the knowledge explosion without overloading the student.
abstract: Assessment of today's approach to veterinary education reveals a system overloaded with facts and students stressed to memorise and recall medical information. The Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine has chartered a path to reduce the curricular information overload. The innovative incorporation of computers into the curriculum coupled with problem-based learning activities are preparing students to find information and learn on their own.
