You can copy and paste text and create an MP3 file to listen to in a voice of your choosing these days:

Of course, by the time you actually do that you might have just read it!

Still, if you learn better from spoken word might be of some use.

The same technique can be used to type up study notes or even practice questions and quiz yourself / revise via audio while doing another activity that doesn't gel well with reading (say commuting to work through log-jam roads, jogging, sitting in a darkened room not moving in the hope the baby stays asleep). I'm surprised teaching centres don't produce more audio materials for students as not everyone learns well from reading, and different information formats can be complementary when learning.

I haven’t found any audiobooks (but doesn’t mean they aren’t out there!) but there are a lot of podcasts available (I use the ‘podcast‘ app on iphone but I’m sure other phones have an equivalent, search ‘veterinary’)

I personally like VetGirl on the Run, and Veterinary ECC SmallTalk, neither are specifically aimed at students (ECC Smalltalk especially is quite niche for ECC work) but worth a listen.
