Does anybody have any current events they were asked about in their interviews, or any suggestions on where to find some to study up on.

dvm360.com is a great website for current issues in veterinary medicine.

this is a neat blurb from the ny times today. not veterinarian-specific, per se, but a really neat marriage of conservation biology and working animals 🙂

dvm360.com is a great website for current issues in veterinary medicine.

I remember really liking this website when I was reading up on things prior to my interviews.

I also really recommend signing up for the AVMA animal health smart briefs. I only learned about them recently, but you get them daily (I think just weekdays) via email. They give a great way to see a lot of headlines about recent veterinary info and then you can pick and choose what to read based on what you are interested in.

Here is the website:

I second the suggestion of AVMA animal health Smartbriefs. I also have a daily google alert set up for "veterinary" and I check the AVMA website. I'm feeling pretty up-to-date!

While I'm not recommending being UNinformed, and my interviews were 4 years ago now...but I was not asked a single current events question at any of my interviews (4 different schools). For what it's worth.

just giving this thread a bump to the top.

Any additional suggestions or current events for those of us still interviewing?!
