WikiVet News and Updates

Welcome to all new registered users in 2015 - you are joining a global community of 68,198 veterinary students and practitioners. For more information about how to get the most out of the site, please take a look at this section.

WikiVet and Vetstream Link Up

We are really excited to announce that the link between WikiVet and Vetstream has now gone live. This means that all WikiVet student users will now be able to access Vetstream's content free of charge. This provides students with access to an extensive clinical educational and reference resource which we think will be invaluable to veterinary studies as well as clinical practice.

WikiVet launches new online bookstore

As part of our ongoing efforts to raise funds to support WikiVet, we have set up a bookstore. A percentage of all sales will go to WikiVet and we have added as many useful veterinary texts as possible for you to choose from. The prices are competitive so if you are looking to buy textbooks why not help WikiVet at the same time?

NEW Nutrition Content as a Result of WikiVet and Mars Petcare Collaboration

Today WikiVet and Mars Petcare have launched new veterinary educational materials focused on cat and dog nutrition and its role in health and wellbeing.

Global Survey of Veterinary Students' Online Learning

We have recently conducted a Global Survey of Veterinary Students' Online Learning. It was designed to investigate the technology and online resources (such as WikiVet) which are available to veterinary students around the world and feedback will help to inform the effective provision of online open educational resources. You can view a summary of the findings presented at the AMEE 2015 Conference here
