Large animal veterinarians should apply for AgriLabs scholarship for post-graduate continuing education efforts.

In collaboration with the American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP), AgriLabs is offering an award to two veterinarians, one beef and one dairy.

Named as a tribute to Bruce Wren, D.V.M., each award will provide $5,000 for professional-development training so these practitioners may better serve their producer-clients. Completed applications are due July 15, 2012, and the presentations will be made at the annual AABP Awards Banquet.

The grant process allows applicants to determine how best they want to use the $5,000 grant from AgriLabs and judging will be based on three primary criteria:

1) The applicants’ professional-development plan, which describes the skills/knowledge they would like to improve to become a more valuable resource for their producer-clients.
2) How the $5,000 will be utilized to fulfill the professional-development plan.
3) Letters of reference from three individuals (including at least one producer and one veterinarian) who have first-hand knowledge of the applicant’s practice experience and educational interest.
