RVC student wins AAEP scholarship
Molly
Molly Muedeking was invited to America to recieve her award.

Scholarships awarded to exceptional students and advocates of equine welfare

An undergraduate from the Royal Veterinary College was one of eight veterinary students invited to a convention in America and awarded scholarships, having been considered exceptional students and advocates of equine welfare.

The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Foundation awarded a $2,500 scholarship to final year BVetMed student Molly Muedeking. Molly was the only British or European student to be honoured. The other recipients came from Canada and the US.

The scholarships were presented during a special lunch at the AAEP's 60th Annual Convention, which took place earlier this month in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Remarking on the event, Molly said that she was "thrilled" to receive the news that she had won the scholarship.

"It was an amazing experience to be able to go to Salt Lake City for the national AAEP Conference to meet other dedicated students and listen to leading veterinarians discuss emerging research and difficult cases .”

The scholarship programme, which is now in its 26th year, awards financial support to veterinary students who are proven leaders at their veterinary schools, academic achievers and advocates for equine welfare.  

Students are nominated for the scholarship by representatives from their institutions, with supporting references from AAEP members and clinical instructors.

Bluetongue low vector period ends

In an update to its bluetongue guidance, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has announced that the seasonal low vector period for the disease has ended.

With winter over, Defra is planning for a possible increase in cases as midges become more active. It has warned that farms along the east coast of England from Norfolk to Kent, and along the south coast from Kent to Devon, are at highest risk from infected midges blown over from northern Europe.

Since the virus was detected in England in November 2023, there have been 126 confirmed cases. The most recent case to be confirmed was on 1 March 2024.

Farmers are asked to continue to frequently monitor their livestock and ensure their animals and land are registered with the Animal and Plant Health Agency.
