The Strengthening Veterinary Education on Antimicrobial Resistance series compiles assessment reports of veterinary education institutions, detailing strengths and areas for improvement in the institutions’ curricula, and recommendations to enhance their education on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) learning outcomes. Data was gathered through assessments performed using the Ohio State University's "Evaluation Tool to Assess AMR Learning Outcomes". This issue of the series summarizes the findings of the assessment conducted at the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences at the Tajik Agrarian University named after Shirinsho Shotemur (TAU) in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.The curriculum assessment at TAU was performed in 2023, and involved a total of 27 participants, i.e. assessors, from the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences. During the assessment, participants reported on a total of 82 AMR learning outcomes (LOs), evaluating whether they were covered by the curriculum or not and how proficient an average Day 1 veterinary graduate (D1VG) at the institution was in the given topics.Overall, the average D1VG of the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences at TAU was considered to be proficient in 43 percent of the LOs assessed. Among the strengths identified, the perceived competence of the average D1VG was highest in the following topics: implementing prevention and biosecurity programmes in dairy production systems to mitigate infectious diseases to limit antimicrobial use (AMU), and identifying zoonotic bacterial transmission pathways between animal and human populations and establishing preventive measures to mitigate such transmission.Findings and recommendations summarized in this report will help to strengthen veterinary education at TAU via ensuring adequate coverage of topics related to AMR and prudent AMU and will therefore decrease the risk of resistance development in the food and agriculture sector in Tajikistan.
