Education and Training

Education and training of specialists

The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation's guiding principle is "Let's tackle the root of the problem". In addition to the optimisation of animal shelters and neutering campaigns in Switzerland and many other countries, the training and further education of veterinarians and animal protectionists is an important pillar of this philosophy: The SUST veterinary training courses are known for their quality and efficiency.
 
Animal welfare activists learn elementary principles for the handling and care of animals and for the management of animal shelters, veterinarians are brought up to date with the latest neutering techniques by internationally recognized colleagues and experience new and important things for the implementation of such campaigns.
 
This lays the foundation for further successful neutering campaigns to meet the quality standard demanded by SUST: This means that countless unwanted young animals do not have to be born and suffer in the first place. It has been proven that the overpopulation of dogs and cats can only be contained in the long term and animal-friendly by neutering campaigns.

This is what we have set ourselves the goal of our animal welfare work: the problem is being tackled at the root!

The pillar "basic and advanced training of specialists" includes

- Courses at the SUST Academy
- Veterinary training in different countries
- Animal welfare seminars in different countries
- ERFA events in Switzerland
- Internships for veterinarians, students and veterinary assistants in different countries
- Trainee programme for young Swiss veterinarians of SUST and Kompanima
- personal training of experts during SUST operations
- Co-financing of training centres

27 April 2024 was World Veterinary Day

April 2024

This year it is already the 24th time!
We would also like to take this opportunity to draw attention to the fantastic work of veterinarians around the world - but especially, of course, to the work of our SUST veterinarians and SUST partner veterinarians.
Wonderful people who work for animals in need - but also share their valuable knowledge and give other professionals the opportunity to optimise their knowledge and improve animal welfare.
Symbolically - and because all these highly professional, wonderful people from Switzerland, Romania, Lebanon, Peru, Hungary, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Spain, Mexico and many other countries simply cannot fit in one picture - we are celebrating this day with a picture of the veterinarian training in Bucharest in June 2017 with Dr. Jeffrey Young.
Thank you for supporting SUST training and further education for veterinarians!
Thank you for your commitment to sustainable animal welfare with heart and mind!
