Welcome to all new registered users in 2016 - you are joining a global community of <big>'''[[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}]]'''</big> veterinary students and practitioners. For more information about how to get the most out of the site, please '''[[New Students|take a look at this section]]'''.
====WikiVet Reaches 40,000 Registered Members!====
  −
At the beginning of 2015 WikiVet reached 40,000 registered users. In honour of this milestone we have awarded a prize to the lucky 40,000th registrant Kate Cheeseman from [[UK - Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Edinburgh|The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Edinburgh]], who has provided us with a brief [[40,000th Registered User - Kate Cheeseman|biography]].

====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 [[Dentistry Launch|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 [[UK - Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Edinburgh|Royal (Dick) Vet School in Edinburgh]]

==== 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.
