The AASV is pleased to announce the program for the Student Seminar portion of the 53rd AASV Annual Meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana. Thirty-seven veterinary students from 12 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 at the meeting. The panel approved the remaining 22 abstracts for poster presentation. Zoetis, sponsor of the Student Seminar and Poster Session, provides a $750 award to each student selected to participate in the oral session and a $250 award to each poster presenter.
During the meeting, the students’ oral presentations will be judged to determine the recipients of AASV Foundation scholarships ranging from $500 to $5000, funded by Elanco Animal Health and Zoetis. The Student Seminar, co-chaired by Drs Andy Bowman and Perle Zhitnitskiy, is scheduled to take place Sunday, February 27, from 1:00 to 5:15 pm, with the announcement of scholarship awards during the luncheon on Monday, February 28. The schedule for the Student Seminar oral presentations follows; the full program listing is available at aasv.org/annmtg.
