IWRC is excited to announce a new addition to our annual symposium. This year we will be offering Practical Skills Seminars. These seminars will target two specific areas essential for wildlife rehabilitators: first, our hands on skills like wing wrap for birds, physical exams, or gavage; and second, our practical knowledge in areas like pain management, medical math, or release criteria. Our new seminars will be a combination of interactive lecture, hands on lab, and case studies with time for you to ask questions and perfect your techniques with help and guidance from experienced wildlife veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and wildlife rehabilitators. So whether you are a brand new rehabber looking to add to your tool kit or an experience rehabber looking to refresh or take a new look at your current practices, IWRC’s Practical Skills Seminars have something for you and more importantly for your wildlife patients.

Our goal is to leave you with hands on skills and rehab ready knowledge that you can start using as soon as you get home.
