Marine Mammal Veterinary Medicine

How to:

  • International Association For Aquatic Animal Medicine (IAAMA): www.iaama.org

  • American College of Zoological Medicine (ACZM) Training Programs​

    • ​'After a person graduates from college (4 years), then veterinary school (4 years), and obtains veterinary licensure, he/she usually completes a 1 year internship (e.g.,small or large animal medicine and surgery, zoological medicine). The person then serves a 3-4 year residency in zoological medicine in a training program approved by ACZM under the teachings and guidance of ACZM diplomates. If a person did not complete an ACZM-approved formal training program, he/she must have at least 6 years of experience (100%) in zoological medicine. Once the residency or sufficient experience is completed the board certification process begins.'
