DVM Students: Apply to the Morrison Swine Innovator Prize

June 14, 2023 — 

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!

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 the end of the day August 15th.

The Allen D. Leman Swine Conference includes 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 in-person during the afternoon of Sunday, September 17 at the Allen D. Leman Swine Conference and will include presentations from the veterinary student finalists. Invited students will receive a $1,000 stipend and free admission to the Leman Swine Conference.
