G AINESVILLE, FLThe College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida The College of Veterinary Medicine at UF is part of both the Health Science Center, which encompasses six colleges, and the University’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS). It is Florida’s only veterinary college, offering comprehensive service to the public through a four-fold mission – teaching, research, extension and patient care. Areas of strength at the college include: comparative medicine, food animal medicine, laboratory animal medicine, aquatic medicine, environmental medicine, large animal medicine and surgery and small animal medicine and surgery.
HOMOSASSA, FL Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park The park's resident manatees make the first-magnitude spring their home, along with fresh and salt water fish that are free to come and go. The Fish Bowl, a floating underwater observatory, offers an unequalled, below-the-surface view of manatees and fish in the crystal clear spring environment. Visitors can see West Indian manatees every day of the year from the park's underwater observatory in the main spring. The park showcases native Florida wildlife, including manatees, black bears, bobcats, white-tailed deer, American alligators, American crocodiles, and river otters. An elevated boardwalk system provides a great view of the wildlife including a cougar, bears, bobcats, otters, deer, alligators and a wide variety of wading birds, birds of prey and songbirds. Homosassa Springs is one of the a very few places where you can see endangered West Indian manatees, Whooping Cranes, Red wolves, Key Deer, and a Florida panther up close. The female river otter has a new pup and is happy to show it off to visitors. The recently completed Felburn Wildlife Care Center is a state of the art facility where our training sessions will be held.
ST. AUGUSTINE, FL The Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience The Laboratory opened its doors on January 30, 1974. The main laboratory building includes about 20,500 square feet of space and houses the research units of the individual faculty members. The Center for Marine Studies (CMS), which opened in March, 2007, is situated on eastern shore of the Intracoastal Waterway, south of St. Augustine.
Marineland of Florida Marineland was the world’s first oceanarium; conceived as a project to provide a window to the ocean. Today it continues to serve as a link between the public and the marine world, promoting awareness of our fragile marine and coastal environments and inspiring a commitment to protection of these precious resources. Marineland's Dolphin Conservation Center opened in 2006 to educate and entertain guests through interactive dolphin encounters. The dolphins reside in a 1.3 million gallon habitat. It is located across the road from The Whitney Lab.
Field tours that provide a working knowledge of husbandry are considered integral for any individual working in aquatic animal medicine. This course includes hands-on training at a manatee facility in Homosassa Springs on Monday, and a swim with dolphins at Marineland for a close-up, interactive experience in assessing their health on Friday. Transportation will be provided to all field tour sites.
