Near the end of 2024, our partners in Sumatra conducted multiple 2-day seminars on elephant health care for students in their final year of veterinary school. Classroom lectures were conducted on the first day, while the second day consisted of hands-on practical demonstrations. The veterinary students were able to practice what they have learned on patrol elephants from the Saree elephant camp in Aceh Besar regency and CRU (Conservation Response Unit) Sampoinet camp in Aceh Jaya regency. The workshops focused on teaching the veterinary students safety precautions when working with elephants, clinical examinations, drug administration, sample collection, and foot care.
Students learned both in lectures and hands-on setting
