Laura Hunter

Laura Hunter serves as a Lecturer in Veterinary Science & Education within the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Glasgow. Her office is located in Room 106 on the Ground Floor of the McCall Building at the Garscube Campus (G61 1QH), and she can be reached via email at Laura.Hunter@glasgow.ac.uk.

Her research centers on veterinary educational methodologies with specialized focus on competency assessment systems and the implementation of reasonable adjustments for diverse learners. She examines how these accommodations impact student attainment in veterinary medicine programs, particularly through analysis of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs). Her work addresses critical gaps in equitable assessment design and evidence-based educational interventions for clinical skills evaluation.

Recent publications presented at the VetEd 2025 International Symposium demonstrate her empirical approach to auditing assessment practices, revealing trends in how reasonable adjustments affect outcomes in veterinary OSCEs. This research contributes to evolving frameworks for inclusive assessment validity and supports pedagogical innovations that enhance educational equity in clinical veterinary training environments.
