Considering expanding your knowledge of shelter medicine, infectious disease, forensics, shelter animal behavior and welfare?

Seeking a more structured online learning experience and possibly even pursuing a certificate or degree?

The University of Florida offers an online shelter medicine distance learning program. Sponsored by PetSmart you can learn how to recognize and manage infectious diseases in a shelter, collect forensic evidence in a current investigation, and prevent behavioral and welfare problems in large populations of animals.

This program fills an existing curriculum gap in shelter medicine by providing quality online courses for veterinary professionals, animal welfare professionals, and students. Even career changers interested in getting a start in shelter medicine or assisting local shelters with non-profit leadership issues can transition into the program as a non-degree seeking student. Demand continues to grow for qualified professionals in this ever-expanding field.

UF’s shelter medicine graduate program offers competitive in-state tuition for all students, regardless of location.

Anyone who has an undergraduate degree (not just veterinarians), can take one course as a non-degree seeking student:  https://onlinesheltermedicine.vetmed.ufl.edu/programs/continuing-education/ to check things out.
