Dolphin Discovery Hosts the Veterinary Educational Program ‘Marvet’

Each year, our Dolphin Discovery brand hosts the ‘Marine Veterinary Medicine’ (Marvet) where we welcome several veterinary medicine students from various schools in the United States and other countries to receive theoretical-practical classes about the management and care required by the marine mammals that live in our care.

This is the 13th time that we are hosting the Marvet program, our Marine Mammal Specialists and Veterinarians receive them for 3-5 days to provide educational talks and practical classes about species such as dolphins, sea lions and manatees.

Students have the opportunity to learn important aspects about the health and management of the species from the hand of our expert team that is dedicated to the care of our specimens. Daily physical evaluation, diet selection, reproduction, stranding, rehabilitation, medical management and the role of a veterinarian in marine animal habitats, are some of the topics in which the group is trained.

We are proud to be able to share the experience of our group of Specialists and Veterinarians with these young people. We highlight the importance of the existence of spaces such as Dolphin Discovery to provide educational information that is essential for the training of veterinary medicine students; our doors will always be open for those who want to know the appropriate care for their well-being.
