Veterinary students participate
in a wealth of wildlife and exotic animal medicine courses at the college,
from Veterinary Aspects of Captive Wildlife Management to Avian Medicine
and Surgery. Seven specialty courses average between 30 and 65 DVM students
and are taught by Professor George Kollias, DVM, PhD, or Instructors Noha
Abou-Madi, DVM, MSc, and Jamie K. Morrisey, BS, DVM.
A strong background in wildlife ecology, zoology, and basic biology is
needed by students who want to concentrate or specialize in wildlife or
zoological medicine.
Students participating in the wildlife health program's courses and clinical
opportunities (such as the wildlife and exotic animal clinic at the Companion
Animal Hospital or veterinary care at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park in Syracuse) receive valuable
exposure to the care and maintenance of alternative species.
