Where Elephant Healthcare, Welfare and Conservation Meet!

at the Elephant Conservation Center's ECORE Institute
in Sayaboury, Laos.
Our comprehensive, six-day veterinary course offers international students an overview of elephant conservation medicine. It is oriented to 4th and 5th-year veterinary students and recent graduates with some clinical experience who are interested in expanding their knowledge and skills around elephant conservation medicine with a focus on Asian elephants.
In this course, a wide range of topics will be explored through lectures, hospital and lab instruction, hands-on-practice of healthcare techniques, field work, forest excursions, and group participation activities. All topics will be taught in English.
