Summary
The number of people living with HIV-AIDS in Australia is increasing and ageing, requiring an expert primary care workforce to provide HIV clinical care into the future. Yet the numbers of general practitioners training as s100 prescribers may be insufficient to replace those leaving to retire or change jobs.

There is a need for passionate veterinarians in this country to specialise in aquatic animal health to ensure that these animals receive first class health care and the full range of services (diagnostic workup, husbandry recommendations, treatment options, surgical opinions and management advice) expected from a veterinarian in any field of practice.
I am a unique veterinarian as I possess a strong and passionate interest in all aspects of aquatic animal health, medicine and pathology and am prepared to dedicate my career to these wonderful creatures to ensure they are healthy, respected and protected.
The AQUAVET I course brings together vets who believe that the profession is in a position to contribute to the wellbeing of aquatic ecosystems and inhabitants. AQUAVET is well-renowned and accepted within the veterinary profession and many of the previous participants have pursued long, meaningful careers in aquatic animal health. This is what I am determined to do! I know that by attending AQUAVET I, I will bring back with me many useful skills, networking connections, the latest and greatest in medical/diagnostic technology and a more detailed knowledge of aquatic animal diseases and husbandry requirements. This scholarship will accelerate my learning and at the end of the course, I will be better educated to impart knowledge to the entire aquatic animal health community in Australia.
Objectives: 1. To network and foster a strong relationship with the international network of fish veterinarians for future collaborations nationally and internationally 2. To expand the skill set and accelerate the learning of the principal investigator for the provision of aquatic animal health veterminary services to all types of aquatic animal producers and wildlife and aid in ensuring Australia's aquatic animals are healthy and protected 3. To share information, skills, knowledge and impart advice to all members fo the Australian aquatic animal health community Read moreRead less
