Clinical skills may be taught as stand‐alone courses or their instruction may be integrated into existing ones, and there is no evidence to suggest that one design is better than the other. Regardless of the type of course in which they are taught, it is important to map where, and potentially how, these skills are taught, as well as when and how they are assessed. Furthermore, there should be a logical sequence to skill development that aligns with building toward the final level of clinical competence that has been determined as being core for a curriculum. An additional advantage to curricular mapping is that it allows identification of material that is included, as well as any uncoordinated or unplanned repetition. Mapping may also identify skills that may be redundant, irrelevant, or unsuitable for a Day‐One veterinarian or veterinary nurse.
