Description: Strengthen your confidence with the Global Wildlife Resources wildlife handling and chemical immobilization workshop. Learn the latest drug combinations and fine-tune your field protocols. GWR is teaching a 2-day workshop on Wildlife Handling and Chemical Immobilization held in association with the Joint Annual Meeting of Washington Chapter-The Wildlife Society and partner organizations. It is the most current and practical course content in North America.

This 2-day course provides 12 CE hours for the TWS Professional Development Program. The workshop is a slightly condensed version of the 3-day courses that Global Wildlife Resources (GWR) teaches across the U.S. and Canada. The 2-day workshop will include lecture, discussion, videos, and a hands-on lab each day. A drug delivery lab provides opportunity for participants to practice a variety of projectors. A needle and syringe lab teaches basic skills and improves old skills for working with needles and syringes, syringe poles, and blood collection. The needle and syringe lab builds good habits to maximize human safety, animal care, and successful chemical immobilization. This course emphasizes care and respect for every animal and colleague.
