BSAVA announces online conference for students
"The BSAVA Student Conference is a great opportunity for students to enhance their learning on a variety of topics." - AVS.
Event to support students in their transition to practice.

The BSAVA has announced a one-day virtual conference for veterinary students to help them prepare for their careers in small animal practice.

Taking place on Saturday, 23 January, the BSAVA Student Focus event promises a fun, interactive day of clinical and non-clinical content, counting towards six hours of extra-mural studies (EMS). It has been put together by BSAVA volunteers and supported by the Association of Veterinary Students (AVS).

Isobel Arthur and Calum McIntyre, president and junior vice president of the AVS, said: “The BSAVA Student Conference is a great opportunity for students to enhance their learning on a variety of engaging topics. Students will also be provided with the unique opportunity to talk with various expert clinicians, offering valuable insights into their fields in a time when access to seeing practice is more limited."

Among the activities include polls, quizzes and panel discussions, during which students will be able to interact with each other using the online chat platform. The day after the event, bonus content consisting of five webinars will be available, providing clinical guidance on cardiology, exotics, surgery, nutraceuticals and how they are used in practice and customer care.

Alison Speakman, BSAVA junior vice president, said: “Practice-based scenarios with student-led topics and clinical case-solving of challenging issues, including fever and problematic anaesthesia patients, are aimed at facilitating a confident transition from student to graduate.

“There will also be plenty of fun, including a live BSAVA Bake-Off hosted by Rosie Brandreth-Poynter for you to showcase your cookery skills, as well as a keep fit session to help you burn some calories after you have sampled your efforts!”

The event costs £12 and is for BSAVA Veterinary Student members only. For more information and to book your place, click here.
