Wildlife Veterinary Medicine

Wildlife Veterinary Medicine involves caring for the health and well-being of wild animals, both in their natural habitats and in captivity. Veterinarians in this field diagnose and treat illnesses, injuries, and infections, often working in challenging environments. They also play a crucial role in conservation efforts by monitoring populations, researching diseases that affect wildlife, and helping prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases to humans. This specialty combines veterinary skills with ecological understanding to protect biodiversity and ensure the survival of various species in the wild.
