I received this from my colleague, Rob Oz Ossiboff, via Facebook.
- For friends both in exotic veterinary medicine and amphibian conservation – please see the announcement below regarding amphibian medicine online tutorials produced by some of the clinical veterinarians here at the Wildlife Conservation Society. Videos are available in English, French and Spanish on YouTube. Please share with anyone who might find this helpful.—————————————————————————————-
Dear Colleague,I am pleased to announce the availability of on-line amphibian medicine tutorials recently uploaded to YouTube. Each short 10-15 min video is designed to provide basic background information in various topics of amphibian medicine. The tutorials are available in 3 languages- English, Spanish, and French. The material is generally designed for use by veterinarians, but the information will be helpful to anyone involved in ex situ amphibian conservation programs. The tutorials are designed as an introduction, rather than a complete summary of all topics regarding amphibian medicine, and additional resources are listed in each tutorial. Tutorials can be viewed as a stand-alone course, but will also be helpful for reviewing concepts taught at various amphibian husbandry and medicine workshops given around the world by organizations such as the AZA and the Amphibian Ark.Please help me in getting the word out about this resource. If you know of anyone working with amphibians that would benefit from these tutorials, please send them the links and information.
