WikiVet Global Challenge Winners There has been a great response to the Global Dentistry Challenge in November with over 350 respondents from over 60 vet schools. We are now analysing all the results to help us identify topics that students have difficulty with. In the meantime, Lisa Milella has created a 30 minute guide explaining what the correct responses actually were. We are also delighted to announce the three prize winners for the Challenge: Hannah Moody who is a fourth year student at the Royal (Dick) Vet School in Edinburgh Paulina Wieczorkowska a veterinary student from Poland who came second Ssebunya Yvette a fourth year student at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and Biosecurity(CoVAB), Makerere University, Uganda More information about our winners and the link to the video are available on the dentistry launch page. WikiVet Global Challenge The Veterinary Dentistry Challenge ended at 12.00 GMT on Monday 1st December 2015. We are really excited to have had over 350 students take part from over 60 different veterinary schools. The results are fascinating and will help us identify areas that we need to provide more content to support teaching in veterinary dentistry. Final results will be announced shortly. Vet Revise This brilliant flash card program has been developed by Matthew Dobson, a 4th year veterinary student at the Royal Veterinary College. Vet Revise is a sophisticated flashcard program which uses a system similar to Anki, which is a lot more efficient than traditional study methods. It not only greatly decreases your time spent studying but also increases the amount you learn. Matthew has recently been selected as a leading Student Innovator in the UK. The program has been developed for vet students and now includes over 80,000 flashcards. It has just been released for student use and we hope you will find it useful and inspire you to build and share your own card sets. Animal Handling Videos We are delighted to have received over 70 great videos from Dr Pietro Celi who is Senior Lecturer in Ruminant Production and Health at the Faculty of Veterinary Science in the University of Sydney. These have all been published on the WikiVet Video site and can be viewed here. WikiVet and Mars Petcare Collaborate WikiVet has worked with Lisa Milella BVSc DipEVDC MRCVS and Mars Petcare to produce a comprehensive Small Animal Dentistry module that will be invaluable for both veterinary students and graduates.
