The Allen D. Leman Swine Conference Introduces The Morrison Swine Innovator Prize for DVM Students

August 8, 2018 — 

Veterinary students: Are you shadowing a swine practitioner this summer or have you been involved in an interesting clinical case investigation? Did you work on your veterinary skills by designing a differential diagnosis list or working on a treatment plan? Did you investigate a problem by analyzing production records? Share your work at the Allen D. Leman Swine Conference to win the Morrison Swine Innovator Prize!

The Allen D. Leman Swine Conference is organizing a session for veterinary students to demonstrate their problem-solving skills through the presentation of a case or experience where students challenged their clinical training and problem-solving capabilities necessary for day-to-day practice. Creativity and originality in the support and delivery are encouraged. The session will take place on Sunday at the Allen D. Leman Swine Conference and will include presentations from pre-selected veterinary students. Invited students will also be part of a dedicated workshop to enhance their leadership and communication skills, networking opportunities, and will receive a $1,000 stipend, free admission to the Leman Swine Conference, a copy of the Diseases of Swine book (10th edition), and of course the winner of the Morrison Swine Innovator Prize will receive a substantial monetary prize.

Attending the Leman Conference is a great opportunity for veterinary students who want to network with industry leaders. Submissions to enter in the selection to present at the DVM student session at the Leman Conference should be uploaded at z.umn.edu/MSIP by August 15th at the end of the day.
