WikiVet are recruiting Student Ambassadors from every Vet School that is registered with WikiVet

Role of the Student Ambassadors

We want WikiVet to be used as widely as possible throughout the world. To do this we need to let students know that WikiVet is here, so we're on the look out for student ambassadors. These students act as a point of contact for the WikiVet team in their school, and help us keep everybody informed about new developments and opportunities.

WikiVet already have over 30 international ambassadors around the world who have been helping to promote WikiVet. We now want to increase the number of schools who benefit from this representation significantly – and we would like your help to do this!


What YOU can do…'

The work of a WikiVet ambassador is intended to be interesting without demanding too much of your time in order not to compromise your veterinary studies. Past ambassadors have commented that they enjoy contributing to a global project that shares knowledge and allows them to get to know students in other countries.

The tasks of an ambassador include:

  • being the nominated contact point in the school for liaison with WikiVet and other veterinary schools wishing to make contact
  • distributing WikiVet posters and fliers around the school to ensure that all students are familiar with the site
  • updating the vet school page on WikiVet and adding their own personal profile to the site
  • encouraging staff and students to add content to the site and edit existing material
  • raising awareness amongst the academic faculty of WikiVet and encouraging them to recommend the site in lectures
  • feeding back to WikiVet any issues or suggestions for future development

What YOU get in return

WikiVet is a voluntary organisation with limited resources so we are not able to pay our ambassadors. However, there are many other ways that you can benefit from helping us. These include;

  • making contact with veterinary students in other countries initially online but often leading to opportunities to visit
  • preferential access to WikiVet incentives and benefits for example free textbooks, courses and promotional material from sponsors
  • experience in working online which will be increasingly valuable on your CV when looking for jobs in the digital future
  • feeling you are making a difference especially when professional colleagues in less fortunate vet schools in the world have the opportunity to access content that you consider routine

Next steps

If you are interested in getting involved, please get in touch with our student coordinator, Gemma Gaitskell-Phillips (ggaitskell@rvc.ac.uk). Please include a description of yourself, your use of WikiVet so far and why you feel you would be suitable for the position. Successful candidates will need a good grasp of the English language.Gemma will check if there are any other active volunteers in your school and then get back to you with an information pack and induction material.

We will then run an online seminar with you and students from other schools to show you how to start getting the most of out of WikiVet in your school.

We look forward to meeting YOU!
