IVSA Standing Committe on Veterinary Education (SCoVE) Presents: Vetstream SCoVE Ambassadors
Mission… …to facilitate the distribution of knowledge to veterinary students throughout the world…
IVSA’s partner, Vetstream would like a representative Ambassador from each vet school to promote vetstream!
What is Vetstream? Vetstream is an online platform that contains over 19,000 text, diagrams and images covering topics relevant to clinical veterinary treatment of dogs, cats, rabbits and horses, with its primary focus on the provision of content for use by veterinarians. Vetstream is continually being updated and receives articles and images from over 900 collaborators. www.vetstream.com
Vetstream and IVSA Vetstream access is free for IVSA members! However, this benefit does not stretch to non-IVSA members, which means IVSA and Vetstream would like Universities to work with Vetstream to allow this resource to be accessible to all Professors, staff and Veterinary Students We aim for Vetstream to be used as an international clinical reference for all Veterinarians, Academics and Students.

How to promote Vetstream and SCoVE at your Vet School? v Promote Vetstream by displaying posters, hosting talks on Vetstream across the University vet school campus. v Make regular posts on Vetstream on social media. v Circulating newsletters about the value of Vetstream’s services. v Posting information on the intranet and or other local veterinary student associations. v Meet with the University dean/staff to discuss the benefits of Vetstream.

How would your University benefit from Vetstream? ü Everyone has access to all the material on Vetstream! ü Getting access to the information quickly on a computer or mobile phone when you are in clinical rotations or lectures. ü It also allows professors and clinicians to use Vetstream as a reference to information and for further reading recommendations for students. ü Personalizing the website to your university.
