According to the International Association for Aquatic Animal Medicine (IAAAM) “…there is no straight-forward or typical answer to achieving a career in aquatic or marine mammal medicine…(as) no veterinary college has a comprehensive program for specializing in aquatic or marine mammal medicine.”

For those interested in the field, the IAAAM suggests “….getting as much education and practical experience along the way as possible…(including) aquarium, rehabilitation, research, and aquatic animal facilities” education.

Even for those not looking to become a full-time aquatic vet, the new online marine course with Loop is a great way to set yourself apart on those vet school applications!
