Civas Continuous Learning Education Program

Civas Countinous Learning Education Program with Dr.drh. SoehadjiCIVAS Continuous Learning Education Program (CCLEP) is one of the programs made by CIVAS to improve the knowledge of human resources in CIVAS. This is in line with one of CIVAS’ mission, which is to develop better understanding on animal welfare in Indonesia. But CCLEP is not only about themes related to animal health, welfare, or food safety, but also subjects related to personal development and improvement. This program is not only for CIVAS staff, but also open to veterinary students and veterinarians regardless whether he/she is a member of CIVAS or not.

CCLEP was started in September 2007 at CIVAS office. The speakers could be people outside of CIVAS invited to present a certain subject or one of CIVAS’ own staff. The first theme brought up in this program was Sentinel and Field Trial Vaccination by Imron Suandy and Andri Jatikusumah, whom are both coordinators of the Field Trial Program.

Next was a presentation about Duck Study by MD Winda Widyastuti (Secretary General of CIVAS). This study focused on the duck farming systems in several areas in Indonesia. It was conducted in several districts in the province of Central Java and Banten. Results were that 86% of total respondents used the free range systems with added feed, 15% of total respondents applied the free range – scavenging system, and 6% of total respondents applied the intensive system with regular feeding.

The next CCLEP was by Ir. Etih Sudarnika, MSi, who is an epidemiology teacher in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Bogor Agricultural University. She presented about Logistic Regression. Selection of this theme was related to several programs conducted by CIVAS that required sampling and data analysis.

CIVAS had also invited Dr. drh. Soehadji to present about “How to Develop a Charming Personality”. In this presentation, he said there are three elements to develop a better personality; they are the human, time, and life. He also gave some tips on how to deal with life. Some of the tips were to always be grateful to what God has given, do not underestimate others, do not be afraid to take risks, respect others, and never be afraid to learn.

The last was Teun Febri, poultry consultant for Wageningen International from Netherlands. He gave training on poultry disease and poultry necropsy for all staff of CIVAS, specifically for staff who are involved in the Field Trial Vaccination in Sukabumi.

The next CCLEP will be in April 2008 with drh. Mangkoe Sitepu. The theme carried out will be Staatsblad and the Veterinary Authority. The objective is so that people attending the CCLEP will get a better understanding about Staatsblad, which is often referred to when talking about issues in the veterinary world, and the veterinary authority.
