Join an exciting residential course on Sea Turtle Medicine and Rehabilitation at Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) in Juno Beach, Florida.
Curriculum: Monday–Friday, we will be at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center from approximately 9 am – 5 pm for a full-time learning experience. This intensive course will provide an introduction to clinical sea turtle medicine and rehabilitation at one of the busiest sea turtle hospitals in the world, with morning lectures in anatomy and physiology, therapeutics, diagnostics, and population health. In the afternoon, you will observe sea turtle patients during treatments and diagnostics. A necropsy lab is planned, as well as a night with the research team conducting nesting surveys on the beach.
You will be learning from Dr. Max Polyak and his staff of three certified veterinary and rehabilitation technicians, as well as guest lecturers from other departments at LMC. Dr. Polyak has practiced and taught marine animal medicine and conservation to veterinary and marine biology students on three continents.
