AASV Announces Student Seminar Participants for 2014
October 16, 2013 — AASV Staff
The AASV is pleased to announce the program for the Student Seminar at the 2014 AASV Annual Meeting in Dallas, Texas. Fifty-nine veterinary students from 17 universities submitted abstracts for consideration. A panel of three veterinarians representing private practice, industry, and academia reviewed and scored the abstracts to select 15 for oral presentation at the meeting. The panel also approved 44 abstracts for poster presentation.
Zoetis, sponsor of the Student Seminar, provides a $750 travel stipend to each student selected to participate in the oral session. At the meeting, the students' oral presentations and written materials will be judged to determine the recipients of scholarships ranging from $500 to $5000, funded by Elanco Animal Health and Zoetis. The Student Seminar will take place Sunday, March 2, from 1:00 to 5:15 pm, and the scholarship awards will be announced during the noon luncheon on Monday, March 3.
