What is WikiVet

WikiVet was originally launched in 2007 with the objective of providing a one stop shop to support all veterinary students and graduates in their studies. Since then, the site has grown enormously to accommodate the needs of students to access reliable information which fits well with their existing course material. Now in the UK over 70% of all students are registered users of WikiVet and globally we ghave over 15,000 students users.

Do you really need another website site

Most students will rely heavily on web material during their course to support their study and revision. Sites such as Wikipedia or Google searches can be invaluable but most of the information is not peer reviewed and is often written for a non veterinary audience. WikiVet in contrast has been created "by vets for vets" and is specifically designed to support a veterinary curriculum. Feedback from around the world indicates that we our content does provide a unique and invaluable resource.
