Wilde Vet: Immerse Yourself in the World of Wildlife Veterinary Medicine

The WildeVet Collaboration Mission offers three distinct ways to experience wildlife veterinary medicine, with options designed to suit different backgrounds, experience levels and learning objectives. Participants can choose a structured two-week Wildlife Vet Course, immerse themselves in the day-to-day through Wildlife Vet Shadowing, or join a specially Curated Mission for those without a veterinary background.

No matter which experience is chosen, no two days are the same. With a wildlife rehabilitation centre on site, participants may have the opportunity to help care for some of the most vulnerable animals, respond to emergencies and become involved in real veterinary cases and conservation work as it unfolds.

From expert-led learning and practical training to hands-on fieldwork and unexpected wildlife emergencies, this is an opportunity to experience real cases, real conservation and the realities of wildlife veterinary medicine.
