FINDING YOUR FINS! TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES IN AQUATIC ANIMAL MEDICINE
Description
Aquatic veterinary medicine can be incorporated successfully into both companion and livestock production practices. Veterinarians may be called upon for VFDs or health exams for aquaculture production clients as well as questions from clients with pet fish. DVM students and graduates of institutions lacking formal aquatic training may be unsure of the opportunities that exist to further their knowledge and experience in the field of aquatic animal medicine. Others may be looking to expand on the training they have already received. Attendees will be guided through the formal and informal training experiences of the author as well as learn about additional opportunities available. This dynamic talk includes descriptions of the trainings, an honest assessment of each opportunity, photographs, and time for questions participants may have about the trainings. This presentation will also provide practitioners with resources for consulting or connecting clients with experienced aquatic veterinarians { can be adapted for 25 or 50 min talk)
