WCVA-2023 in Sydney and Invitation for submission of Bids for WCVA-2025 Print
Sunday, 27 February 2022

The World Congress of Veterinary Anaesthesiology (WCVA) is hosted across the world on a rotational basis covering all corners of the globe. A local organizing committee, with the designated chair being a senior veterinary anaesthesiologist, is responsible for organizing the congress and liaising with the WCVA Council who provide assistance as required.

The WCVA is held every three years. The 14th WCVA was to be held in 2021 in Sydney, Australia. However, due to Covid-19 the Congress was postponed and is now scheduled to be held in late March 2023.

The WCVA after Sydney will be held in Autumn of 2025. The Council would like to invite interested parties that would like to host the WCVA Congress in 2025 to submit a Bid. The procedures to be followed can be found in the WCVA website (https://wcvaa.org/policy-to-host-wcva/).

The deadline for submission will be the 30th November, 2022. It should be noted that a pattern is used for the distribution of the congresses (Europe, N. America, other parts of the world). For the Congress after Sydney it is the turn for North America. However, we will accept bids from anywhere but priority will be given to a North American site, other things equal.

For any further information do not hesitate to contact me (drapto@vet.auth.gr). Receiving an early letter of intent would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

SAQ challenge 2021 Print
Monday, 01 February 2021

Calling all ECVAA exam candidates: Invitation to join the SAQ challenge 2021!

This “challenge” consists of a “club” where exam candidates are given the chance to practice answering SAQs. This is based on a tried and tested system developed for the primary FRCA exam (which is the closest medical equivalent of our anaesthesia diploma exam) and has demonstrated repeated success, with the FRCA candidates achieving very high pass rates.

In order to participate, candidates will require a printer, a scanner and the motivation to practice SAQ exam questions.

The “SAQ challenge”, will commence on the 1st of March and finish on the 28th of July 2020. Applications to participate are now open and will close on the 14th of February. Participation will be anonymous, requiring you to create SAQs and model answers, to answer papers under exam conditions and to mark SAQ papers. The aim is NOT to improve your knowledge, but to improve your technique in answering SAQs.

Any third year resident or candidate planning to sit the exam in 2021/22 who is interested in participating should contact us at vetspenclub@gmail.com. We will then send a booklet with more detailed information.

Best Wishes,
SAQ Team
