NWRA Wildlife Medicine Course for Private Practitioners

This course is intended to provide veterinary practitioners with an introduction on how to approach wildlife medicine cases for the purpose of stabilizing the animal and subsequent transfer to an authorized wildlife rehabilitator. Further, veterinarians will learn about various wildlife rehabilitation considerations that are important to restore health and welfare of the wild patient. This course is a mix of synchronous and asynchronous online learning. There will be live attendance required for some virtual meetings.

2026 Q1 Session starts January 27th.
