SAVMA\nPurdue was well-represented at the 2019 SAVMA Symposium last month, with 20 Purdue\nVeterinary Medicine students in attendance. \nThey participated in various wet labs, meetings, lectures, and competitions\nthroughout the symposium, which was held March 9-11 at the University of\nGeorgia. <\/p>\n\n\n

PVM\u2019s Bovine Palpation Team (left-right) Katherine Kelsey, Brent Bales, Eric Newman, Wyatt Krom, and Jon Richardson helped represent SAVMA Purdue at this year\u2019s SAVMA Symposium, winning 3rd place in the Bovine Competition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Purdue\nVeterinary Medicine Bovine Palpation Team placed third out of 13 teams that\ncompeted.  The PVM team had to work through\nscenarios like pregnancy diagnosis, anatomic abnormalities, repro instrument\nidentification, ultrasound images, and a dystocia model in the competition.\nThis is only the third year that Purdue has had a bovine palpation team in the\ncompetition. Mentored by Dr. Jennifer Koziol, clinical assistant professor of theriogenology\/production\nmedicine, the team met twice a week to prepare for the competition. <\/p>\n\n\n

Among the favorite parts of this year\u2019s SAVMA Symposium for the PVM students was the opportunity to try new things through the wet labs offered during the weekend conference, including equine, bovine, exotics, food animal, small animal, and professional development. Katherine Kelsey, of the DVM Class of 2020, participated in a small animal dentistry session and said of her experience, \u201cGetting to try new things through wet labs at the SAVMA Symposium is a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blair Hooser, of the DVM Class of 2021, submitted a poster in the SAVMA Symposium Poster Challenge about research she did during the Veterinary Scholars Summer Research Program last year in the lab of Dr. Kari Ekenstedt, assistant professor of anatomy and genetics. Entitled, \u201cTrue Colors: The Frequency of Hidden Alleles in Canine Coat Color,\u201d the poster was displayed for attendees to view during the weekend symposium.  \u201cThis was my first year attending SAVMA Symposium and it was a great experience,\u201d Blair said.  \u201cI was able to network with many professionals in the fields I am interested in, which was very beneficial. It was also my first time visiting Athens, Ga., so it was a lot of fun to explore the city with my friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAVMA Purdue members now are looking forward to the 2020 SAVMA\nSymposium which will be held at Cornell University next March. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
