    Another amazing wildlife vet course. The course is set out beautifully and Dr Rogers knowledge is once again clearly seen. Multiple real stories allow you to immerse yourself into the cases.

    So happy that there was a part of African Elephants made!! Was great to learn more about snare wound treatment and work through so many case studies!! I particularly loved the focus on elephant calves, as my dream job would be to be a vet helping to rear orphan elephants!! One particular case I remember following on social media when it was happening, so it was fantastic to gain further insight into the veterinary side of how the vets treated that case!!

    A great follow-up course for the African Elephants – with a significant focus on elephant calves (who wouldn’t want to see them!). Dr Rogers once again brought his wealth of knowledge and experience to the forefront, lecturing on some very interesting cases on snares, wound care etc. I especially enjoyed the case scenario, allowing us to work through the case after all the knowledge we had learnt in the previous course. I 100% recommend Part 2 of this course, as it will help you apply everything you have learnt in this module and the previous part 1.
