====VET Talks launched with the International Veterinary Students Association (IVSA)====
 +
WikiVet and the [http://www.ivsa.org/ IVSA] have been working over the last year on developing a brand new online resource which we have called '''[[VET Talks]]'''. These are short video lectures on key topics given by experts at participating veterinary schools. Each video is no longer than 15 minutes in length to make it easy to watch online. They all come with a fact sheet with additional information. We think this is going to be a really valuable new learning tool for students - feedback so far has been outstanding!

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].
