Rabbit and exotic animal medicine residency launched
Royal (Dick) School offering residency scholarship

The University of Edinburgh's Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies has announced that it will be launching a three-year scholarship for a residency in Rabbit and Exotic Animal Medicine and Surgery.

The Resident appointed is Jenna Richardson, a qualified veterinary surgeon who graduated in 2008, and who will undertake both training and research over three years, and the RCVS CertAVP in Zoological Medicine.

The Royal (Dick) School is the only UK veterinary school to have a dedicated Exotic Animal and Wildlife Service (EAWS), which provides substantive lecture-based and clinical veterinary undergraduate training in this field.

Dr Anna Meredith, head of EAWS, said: "The main focus of the residency programme will be on advancing clinical practice in the field of rabbit and exotic animal medicine, and disseminating this to the profession. Jenna will be involved in EAWS' ongoing outreach programme to veterinary practices and to rabbit and exotic pet owners to promote animal health and welfare."
