2. '''Paulina Wieczorkowsk'''a is a 3rd year veterinary student who studies at Wrocław Univeristy of Environmental and Life Sciences. She says "I am still not sure which area of profession I would like to work because the better part of them are very interesting for me but the most fascinating is an anesthesiology, oncology, ophtalmology and a neurology.

WikiVet has a lot of information from different areas of veterinary and everything is cleary explained and it encourages to self-education. I hope for more competitions as the Dentistry Challenge."
