Advanced Aquatic Animal Care and Husbandry
June 6th and 7th, 2012
These workshops will be offered at the Atlantic Veterinary College, University of Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown, PEI from June 4-7 2012, under the leadership of Dr. Jonathan Spears, Clinical Laboratory Animal Veterinarian.
The target audience for these workshops includes Attending, Clinical or Consulting Veterinarians, Facility Managers, Aquatic Facility Technicians, and Animal Care Committee Members working with academic or research institutions that house laboratory aquatic animals and/or review animal care protocols involving manipulating fish in the wild. These workshops provide hands-on experience in procedures for aquatic laboratory animals.
These modular workshops are designed to provide both introductory and advanced training in aquatic animal health. The first two-day workshop “Health and Husbandry of Aquatic Laboratory Animals” can be taken separately or combined with the “Advanced Aquatic Animal Care and Husbandry”. One may enrol in both workshops but the “Advanced Aquatic Animal Care and Husbandry” has a prerequisite of either the basic workshop or equivalent training and experience.
This workshop is designed to fulfill the requirements of Continuing Education for Attending, Clinical or Consulting Veterinarians, Facility Managers and Facility Technicians as required by the Canadian Council on Animal Care.
Tuition for each two-day workshop is $700 (GST included) with one lunch and nutrition breaks provided.
Space is limited, so please register early.
