Panama Wildlife Veterinary Medicine |
|||||
| Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a sloth vet? Or treat some of the world’s most endangered wildlife? The Wildlife Veterinary Medicine Panama Program might be for you – now open for enrollment for Summer 2021! This program is based at a veterinary clinic serving wildlife, exotics, and small animals, and also takes you to a busy wildlife rehabilitation facility, which has an emphasis on the rehabilitation and release of sloths. Join your instructor, experienced veterinarian Dr. Julio Reyes, in Panama to learn about the medicine and treatment of Panamanian wildlife. Dr. Reyes is the Medical Director of Centro Veterinario Panamá in Panama City, which sees and treats a range of animals – from companion pets to exotic animals and wildlife. By joining us on this program, you’ll get the chance to learn about the treatment of Central America wildlife – including clinical examinations, handling, restraint, common diseases and medical therapies. You will also learn about the rehabilitation process and have the opportunity to shadow any surgeries, rescues, or releases during your time! This two-week program is based between Centro Veterinario Panamá and the APPC, both of which are located in Panama City. In addition to learning about the animals of Latin America and their conservation and care, you’ll also get a chance to explore some of the best of what Panama has to offer – including ziplining through the canopy, exploring tropical waterfalls, and relaxing on stunning and tropical San Blas Islands!
