The course "African Wildlife: Health, Physical & Chemical Restraint" is organized by a team of international wildlife veterinarians and academics. Built around long-term collaborations and partnership with professionals working in African wildlife medicine, the course combines theoretical teaching with intensive hands-on, field operations in nearby game parks.
