====VetDoc Spain 2014====
+
==== WikiVet Global Challenge ====
For the first time ever a Spanish language equivalent (VetDoc) of the well know VetEd Symposium was held over the weekend in Lugo, Galicia. It was a great success with more than 60 attendees and a member of the WikiVet team went along as well. Numerous interesting posters were presented with some great ideas and fantastic resources which are now being used in the veterinary syllabus in Spain. If you are interested in learning more about what went on and having a look at some of the innovative work more information can be found on the [http://www.usc.es/es/congresos/vetdoc14/ VetDoc site].
+
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 [[Vet_Revise|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 [http://ankisrs.net/ 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 [http://elevator.jisc.ac.uk/sosi14/ideas/vet-revise-smarter-way-study 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.

We have teamed up with the [http://www.ivis.org/ International Veterinary Information Service] (IVIS) to provide links to over 50 sets of international Conference Proceeding from our [[IVIS_Conference_Proceedings|Proceedings page]].
