AASV Announces Student Seminar Participants for 2023

October 14, 2022 — AASV Staff

The AASV is pleased to announce the program for the Student Seminar at the 54th AASV Annual Meeting in Aurora, Colorado. Thirty-five veterinary students from 14 universities submitted abstracts for consideration. A panel of six veterinarians representing private practice, industry, and academia reviewed and scored the abstracts to select 15 for oral presentation and 20 for poster presentation at the meeting. A grant from the Zoetis Foundation supports $750 awards for the students selected to participate in the oral session and $250 awards for the poster presenters.

At the meeting, the students' oral presentations will be judged to determine the recipients of AASV Foundation scholarships, including the $5000 top student presenter scholarship supported by the grant from the Zoetis Foundation and 14 additional scholarships from $500 to $2500 funded by Elanco Animal Health.

The Student Seminar, co-chaired by Drs Andy Bowman and Justin Brown, will take place Sunday, March 5, from 1:00 to 5:15 pm. The scholarship awards will be announced during the noon luncheon on Monday, March 6. The schedule for the Student Seminar oral presentations follows:
