| ACVO AWARDS |
| { ANNUAL VETERINARY STUDENT - JOURNAL AWARD } |
| Each year the ACVO offers to
fund awards to university students in undergraduate veterinary programs.
The award gives recipients a one year subscription to the ACVO Journal
of Veterinary Ophthalmology. The award is given in April/May each year
to one recipient of each university. The award recipient is chosen by each
school individually with its own subjective criteria. The Journal
subscription begins the January of the next year. The first issue should
arrive in February and consists of six issues. Approximately 12-15 awards
are issued each year.
If you would like to see if your school can participate please contact the ACVO office. Calls for this award go out each Spring. If you are a student, resident, veterinarian or just interested in veterinary ophthalmology you can subscribe through Blackwell Science, the publisher. |
