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]]'''.

==== 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.

==== AVS and IVSA ====
We have recently created a promotional flier for WikiVet as we are looking to recruit even more new students this year than ever before. We hope you '''[http://commons.wikivet.net/images/d/dc/WikiVetflier.pdf will print out the flier]''' and then be inspired to email it around to new students, distribute it as a handout or even stick it on a noticeboard.<br />
+
We are also really pleased that the '''[http://www.avsukireland.co.uk/ Association of Veterinary Students]''' and the '''[http://www.ivsa.org/ International Veterinary Students Association]''' have agreed to work with WikiVet in raising awareness of the site with their associated veterinary schools. We look forward to developing this partnership in the future.
