To coincide with the opening of this section, WikiVet launched '''The Global Student Challenge'''. This was an online '''quiz''' which aimed to test your knowledge of small animal veterinary dentistry to help you identify topics that you need to review in WikiVet. The challenge closed on the 1st December 2014 and the top three prize winners were:
1. '''Hannah Moody''' who is a fourth year student at the Dick Vet School in Edinburgh
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. 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."
We are also excited to announce two[[dentistry webinars|two free webinars]] by the renowned veterinary dentist Rachel Perry courtesy of [[Mars Petcare]] and [http://www.thewebinarvet.com/ The Webinar Vet]. The first will run on 3rd November and the second on 10th November 2014.
