What’s the best course for studying aquatic veterinary medicine? The course at University of Stirling is the most reputed and established. Now Hong Kong City University is bringing that course to a more central location, recruiting experts from around the world to teach. I’ve taken a look at this course and I’m impressed by the curriculum. And the best part, I’ve been tasked to teach the introductory unit, “Aquatic Animal Biology and Health“.
