The AASV is pleased to announce the participants in the fifteenth annual Veterinary Student Poster Competition, sponsored by United Animal Health. Based on scores received in the judging of abstracts submitted by veterinary students in September, the top fifteen poster abstracts have been chosen for judging. The selected presentations were randomly assigned to the judging order below.
A panel of three practitioner judges will conduct a brief interview of each student presenter as they evaluate the student’s poster during the AASV Annual Meeting. The judging scoresheet is available online at aasv.org/foundation/veterinary-students/scholarship-competition/poster-competition/. The results of the poster competition will be announced during the AASV-AASV Foundation Luncheon on Monday, March 3. United Animal Health is providing the following awards to the poster competitors:
1st place poster: $500
2nd & 3rd place: $400 each
4th, 5th, & 6th place: $300 each
7th – 15th place: $200 each
