University of Wisconsin’s Complete Fish Health Certificate Program for Veterinarians and Fish Producers.

At the recent AVMA Convention I attended, Dr Myron Kebus presented on this great program their state government in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin had set up. The online courses are expected to reduce the risk of diseases on fish farms by increasing the number of trained fish producers and veterinarians. Additionally, veterinary involvement at fish farms will improve the health of fishes, reduce losses and ultimately, increase profitability for the farmer.

Although open to anyone, this training program is targeted at veterinarians and fish producers in their state.
