EXOT100-1102:Intermediate Wildlife Medicine
INSTRUCTOR:
Sonia Hernandez-Divers, DVM, Dip. ACZM (Diplomate of the American College of Zoological Medicine)
DATES:
Nov 25th - Dec 23rd, 2002
Interactive sessions: Mondays; 11/25, 12/02, 12/9, 12/16, 9:30-11:30 PM ET (USA)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will cover the basics of triaging and treating the common injured native wildlife with which a private practitioner might be presented. During four interactive sessions the course will cover ethical and legal considerations, handling, restraint and examination of wildlife patients, zoonoses, public health concerns, triage and treatment of common presentations. The interactive sessions will be complemented by lecture notes, library photos and individual cases.
As an intermediate level course, it is structured for practitioners who are presented with wildlife cases on a regular basis and assumes the practitioner is familiar with the basic principles of avian medicine and surgery. Library materials that should be read prior to the first live session of this course will be available covering some of the basic information specific to ethical, legal, and regulatory issues in wildlife medicine for those practitioners with appropriate prerequisite knowledge in the wildlife specie but who have not previously taken the "Basic Wildlife Triage and Treatment" course.
Upon completion of the course, the practitioner should feel comfortable with the legal aspects of accepting wildlife in their practice, the stepwise process of triage, emergency treatment of common injuries in the most commonly presented wildlife species and the steps to follow after medical treatment of such patients.
