About Me
Why I joined WikiVet
A combination of things came together to bring me here...
Firstly - timing - Having had plans to go away after graduation for a few months, I waned a constructive, useful way of spending June and July, especially as I don't sit idly very well! When the job came up, it was an excellent way of earning money and keeping my knowledge up-to-date. I always feared that my veterinary knowledge might go stale while I was out of the loop, but hopefully not now! :)
Secondly - the bigger picture - As I've already said, my second passion is travelling and I have always had ambitions to use my veterinary degree to help developing countries. WikiVet was a way of reaching out and offering information to communities without having to leave home! I will now make sure people i work with while abroad know about Wikivet, as I believe they are the ones who will get the most from it.
Thirdly - finals - the dreaded F word. There's only so many times you can copy out the same set of notes, and other resources that make you think critically and present information in versatile ways are sorely lacking I think. Having no past papers and few example questions to go on with Nottingham being a new vet school made revision even harder and so I now get a lot of satisfaction from creating resources for those undergoing the same nightmare. I hope they help!
What I'm doing in the OVAL Project
I am writing new articles for WIKIVet from a range of resources and also creating revision/consolidation tools such as flashcards and case based questions for students to work through.
I think these will go down really well and only wish they were around for me a few months ago!
