The American College of Zoological Medicine's Education Committee will sponsor a 1-day ultra-short course in conjunction with the International Conference on Diseases of Zoo and Wild Animals. An important part of this ultra-short coruse is an introduction and comparison to the European College of Zoological Medicine. The ACZM utlra-short course will be held on Wednesday, 8 May 2013, from 8 am to 5 pm.
Who Should Take this Course?
Anyone interested in learning more about the American College of Zoological Medicine or the European College of Zoological Medicine, those that are interested in seeking Diplomate status or are in the process of preparing for examination or any individual who is interested in and can benefit from in-depth, up-to-date, literature-based review lectures on zoological medicine.
The Ultra-short course is administered and instructed by ACZM Diplomates. The Ultra-short course is divided into two main sections:
First Section: Introduces the attendee to the history and mission of the ACZM and ECZM, reasons for becoming a Diplomate of the American or European College of Zoological Medicine, how to become eligible to take the ACZM/ECZM examination, ECZM de-facto status, and provide study and test-taking strategy, including a short mock exam. Anyone with a remote interest in becoming eligible or taking the ACZM examination is expected to benefit from this section. This section is particularly useful for people who are not familiar with ACZM/ECZM and the Diplomate exam.
Second Section: Consists of lectures intended to cover specific zoological medicine topics in-depth. These lectures are meant to be a thorough review of the literature and help the attendee prepare his/her study strategy and organization of the topics. This course is specifically designed not to overlap with the content covered at the ACZM Short Courses.
