THE SCOTSMAN (Edinburgh, UK) 01 December 09 Vet school to offer reptile treatment training
A vet school in Edinburgh is to become the first in the UK to offer training in treating reptiles.
The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, part of Edinburgh University, has earned the accreditation needed to conduct the training.
It will be recognised by the European College of Zoological Medicine.
Kevin Eatwell, who has been awarded the diplomat status, said: "I am delighted to have achieved such status by the European College of Zoological Medicine.
"It is very exciting to be involved in the education of specialist veterinary surgeons throughout Europe."
"This will also open the door for residents at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies to obtain European qualifications relating to the specialist treatment of reptiles."
