In 2020, AAEP awarded three student members or veterinary graduates in their first year of equine practice with complimentary AAEP Convention registration and a cash prize of $500 for their outstanding equine focused case study presentations. Submitted presentations were reviewed by members of the Student Section of the Scientific Review and Editorial Committee and are chosen based on their quality and educational merit. This program allows students and recent graduates to share cases of interest to their peers and demonstrate initiative to potential employers. Cases might include those seen in summer jobs, or at veterinary school. While the case information presented may not be novel or original, they are intended to provide comprehensive and practical review of a specific clinical problem in an individual horse or a group of horses.
