University certificate
The world's largest faculty of veterinary medicine”
Introduction to the Program
Veterinarians specializing in Reptiles and Wildlife are a profession of growing demand due to the increase of animals in captivity that require specific care”

In developed countries, the expansion in the general knowledge of reptile care, as well as in medicine and surgery, has resulted in the formation of an excellent level of veterinary professionals, comparable to those specialized in dogs and cats. In the rehabilitation centers for native and exotic fauna it is very important to acquire this knowledge, since it allows to assess the prognosis of each animal upon its arrival at the center.
There are some 6,500 species of reptiles, but only a few are kept in captivity. Even so, the clinical veterinarian must be qualified to receive and treat any species. The pets most commonly received in the daily clinic are iguanas, some species of lizards, turtles and snakes, which, although they are not domestic animals, should be considered non-conventional pets.
Most routine clinical procedures, such as physical examination, laboratory sampling, radiographic studies or ultrasound, among others, can be performed without the use of sedatives or anesthetics. However, gloves should be worn to reduce the possible spread of zoonotic diseases. In some cases, the use of special gloves, surgical masks, goggles or protective screen should be implemented, depending on the ease of handling the patient and his pathology. In addition, it should be noted that it is impossible to recreate the natural environment of reptiles in captivity. Captivity is very stressful for them, which makes them very susceptible to diseases of all kinds.
On the other hand, this Postgraduate diploma also places special emphasis on the work of the zoo and wildlife center veterinarian with respect to medical procedures in captive exotic animals. The veterinarian specialized in this type of animals must be qualified to develop all the rescue tasks, clinical care and reception of the animal, diagnostic techniques and interpretation of results, as well as the application of updated medical and surgical treatments that will be developed throughout this module.
In addition, as it is an online diploma, the student is not constrained by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work or personal life with their academic life as they wish.

Get a wildlife veterinary degree
While not as recurrent, atypical pet ownership has become a growing trend. The problem with this hobby lies in the lack of specialists to advise owners on care and in turn attend to health problems in these types of species. There have been cases in the media of snakes and crocodiles kept in poor home conditions. Hence the importance of strengthening veterinary knowledge in the field of reptiles and other wild animals. Using state-of-the-art multimedia content and mentoring from experts in the field, you will be able to interact with a comprehensive curriculum, which includes: creating appropriate facilities for reptiles, hibernation, drug administration, radiography, ultrasound, dermal diseases, anesthesia and surgery of wildlife (ursids, felines, primates), and much more.
