WAZEM web is home of the student organization for Wildlife, Avian, Zoo, and Exotic animal medicine at LSU School of Veterinary Medicine.  Our mission is to expose vet students to the ample opportunities outside of traditional large and small animal practice.  Through various speakers, trips, and hands-on "wetlabs," all of the facets of vet med can be experienced, each encounter more interesting than the last.

WAZEM is directed and maintained by the veterinary students at LSU, therefore catering to our own interests and directions in vet med.  Our speakers have been veterinarians from zoos, private clinicians, researchers, and wildlife rehabilitators, just to name a few.  Trips give us a behind-the-scenes look at many animal and nature facilities, with an emphasis on the veterinary care provided in these settings.  "Wetlabs" are interactive demonstrations of various techniques used in veterinary medical practice, such as blood drawing on snakes and turtles and nail trims on elephants.   All this adds more to the enumerable amount of information given to us each day, but will make us better, more educated, vets in the near future.
