02 / Partnership

Offered with Texas A&M.

Seringa presents this professional course only through its Texas A&M partnership, combining academic credibility with an authentic South African field setting.

03 / Registration

Enroll through the university.

All participants must complete registration through Texas A&M. Ask Seringa for current dates and the official university enrollment path.

Texas A&M and local veterinary leadership

Academic depth meets local field experience.

Texas A&M faculty work alongside South African wildlife veterinarians who remain active in their own practices. Their expertise in diagnosis, treatment and herd health connects the course to daily field work, while relationships with nearby ranches broaden the learning opportunities.

For practicing veterinarians Ask Seringa about available dates and request Texas A&M’s course-specific enrollment and CE credit details before registering.

Course framework

Built around decisions—not demonstrations.

Each subject connects pharmacology to the field conditions, patient needs and team communication that make wildlife work distinct.

01

Applied South African pharmacology

Drug classes, selection principles, dosing considerations and the clinical logic behind protocols designed for exotic wildlife.

02

Remote delivery

Delivery systems, preparation, field placement, scene management and the realities of working at distance.

03

Patient monitoring

Physiologic monitoring, clinical trends, equipment, recordkeeping and early recognition of change.

04

Adverse events

Anticipation, contingency planning and practical response when the field does not follow the plan.

05

Reversal & recovery

Reversal strategies, patient positioning, observation, release and post-procedure decision making.

06

Human safety & exposure response

Occupational risk, safe handling, prevention, recognition of accidental exposure and the treatment response required when powerful agents affect a person.

Learning outcomes

What you should be able to do afterward.

A strong continuing-education course is defined by usable outcomes—not simply time spent in a classroom. The program connects each learning objective to the decisions veterinarians make before, during and after a wildlife case.

01

Build a defensible plan

Evaluate the patient, species, environment, personnel and equipment before selecting an immobilization strategy.

02

Choose and justify a protocol

Connect drug selection, dose, delivery method and contingency planning to the needs of the individual case.

03

Monitor with purpose

Interpret physiologic trends, recognize clinically meaningful change and respond before a problem becomes a crisis.

04

Lead a safer field team

Define roles, communicate clearly and coordinate preparation, intervention, reversal, recovery and release.

A complete professional course

Clear standards from enrollment through documentation.

The final course materials will make the educational and administrative expectations easy to understand before a veterinarian registers.

01 / Before the course

Objectives, agenda and faculty.

Published learning objectives, a timed course agenda, instructional methods, faculty credentials, prerequisites and any financial or commercial disclosures.

02 / During the course

Structured, documented participation.

Live instruction, case-centered discussion, supervised field learning where appropriate, attendance verification and a clear process for participant questions and feedback.

03 / After the course

Proof of completion.

Ask for the completion requirements, participation record and any CE certificate available for your selected course.

Details to publish with enrollment Dates, package inclusions, faculty, daily schedule, cancellation terms and the official CE-credit documentation.

Why South Africa

Learn where the protocols live.

South African wildlife practice places clinicians inside the variables that matter: species behavior, field access, weather, terrain, equipment, distance and the constant need to adapt without compromising care.

That context makes the course useful well beyond any single procedure. It sharpens preparation, communication and the ability to recognize when the plan needs to change.

Field teamwork

“Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help, shall all be saved.”

Dr. Jane Goodall

Professional relevance

Bring the field home with you.

Field learning builds habits that travel with you: careful preparation, close observation and clear communication. Working alongside South African wildlife veterinarians brings fresh context to clinical decisions and the connection between individual animal care and conservation.

Think ahead

Plan for more than the ideal case.

Build protocols with patient variation, logistics, personnel, equipment and emergency response already considered.

See sooner

Recognize meaningful change.

Connect monitoring data to the patient in front of you and act before a trend becomes a crisis.

Protect the team

Prepare for human exposure.

Build prevention, emergency communication, immediate treatment and clearly assigned responsibilities into every protocol before a drug is handled.

Planning your professional development

CE details for your chosen course.

Request the current course outline, faculty, schedule and enrollment information through Texas A&M. Confirm the available credit hours, approval status and completion requirements for the specific program before registering.

Credit acceptance depends on your licensing board’s requirements. Use the course documentation to confirm that the program meets your needs.
