Rehabilitation externship
Wildlife Center of Virginia
Each year the Wildlife Center admits about 2,500 patients – sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals in need of medical care. The wildlife rehabilitation externships give in-depth, hands-on experience in the field of wildlife rehabilitation. Lasting a minimum of 600 hours during a 12-week period, externships focus on animal husbandry, nutrition, capture and restraint methods, hand-feeding techniques for orphaned species, wildlife laws, and release criteria.
Externship positions are offered year-round and every season offers a variety of species that require rehabilitation. Spring externs who start their 12-week program between January and April will spend a large amount of time hand-feeding healthy orphaned squirrels, opossums, cottontails, and raptors. In our busiest season from May to August, summer externs will concentrate on the labor-intense task of raising baby passerines and bats as well as bottle-feeding and browsing for fawns. Fall is raptor season and externs who start between September and December will flight condition birds of prey in addition to raising orphaned mammals. Externs in every season will work with an assortment of injured reptiles, mammals, and birds in various stages of recovery from injury; they will also provide daily care of our education ambassadors.
