Background
The Zoological Society of London, The Wildlife Institute of India, The University of Edinburgh, The Royal Veterinary College, The University of Melbourne, Toronto Zoo and the Wildlife Research and Training Institute have run this Interventions in Wild Animal Health Field Course (IWAH) since 2016 in recognition of the need to build capacity to conserve biodiversity through interventions in the health, welfare, and conservation of wild animals. IWAH is an accredited Masters level field course for aspiring wildlife veterinarians.
What will I do?
Tuition will be carried out in the field to develop skills in human-livestock-wildlife conflict management, disease outbreak investigation, forensic investigation, and monitoring of the health of declining species. The Course will cover field monitoring of wildlife, biological management, best practice in wild animal anaesthetic techniques, demonstration and hands-on practice, field clinical and pathological examination, sampling techniques for infectious disease screening, and disease surveillance scenarios.
