My dream is to partake in a development of a veterinary transplantology. As yet I learn how to be a veterinary general practitioner. I think a WikiVet is great website and it is really needful. 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."

The WikiVet Global Challenge

WikiVet is probably the largest veterinary online resource used by vet students around the world. We are always working to add to the content on the site to support the highest standards of veterinary education. As part of this commitment, we have just completed a comprehensive new section on veterinary dentistry – a topic that does not always receive the attention it deserves in vet schools.

To help provide veterinarians and vet students with more high-quality resources in this area, the module will include an introduction to veterinary dentistry with an overview of oral anatomy, oral hygiene and dental surgical procedures. The content includes interactive materials including a series of dentistry webinars, videos and quizzes. The dentistry module will be freely available online to all users of WikiVet through www.wikivet.net.

The Student Challenge is an online quiz which aims to test your knowledge of veterinary dentistry. It will help you identify topics that you need to review in WikiVet. However, by participating you will also be automatically entered into a competition where you will be able to compare your overall scores with that of students from all the other vet schools. There are textbook prizes to be won for the top 3 students – and the top 3 vet schools!
