Students receive SAVF bursaries in 2019

The chairman of the SA Veterinary Foundation, Dr Joubert Viljoen, recently addressed the BVSc V student class at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Faculty.
Foundation sponsorship for students includes the bursaries, prize for the best student in Small Animal Clinical Studies at the end of the 4th year as well as giving the final year clinic students a BSAVA formulary to assist them with their drug selection and dosages in the final year.

The 2019 bursaries were co-sponsored by Lakato, with a bursary for one 4th and one 5th year student.
