Dr. Alex Farris

"The handouts for history taking and treatment protocols were super helpful!"

Dr. Piper Gauthier

"It has meant a great deal to me to have one-on-one time with you and learn from your expertise as I navigate the early stages of my career in exotics. I am very lucky and grateful to have come across your course. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and support during this first month of my dream job. It has made a big difference for me to be able to refer back to you and make sure I am practicing quality medicine for my patients and community."

Dr. Noor Sandhu

The recorded content to go at one’s own pace and case review during the video calls and the history sheets for reptiles especially [were the most helpful parts of the course].

With Exotic Companion Mammal Essentials, going from overwhelmed to confident is as easy as 1, 2, 3

# 1 Learn the Essentials

Get 6 RACE-approved hours of practical exotic vet med training covering the most common exotic companion mammals you'll see in practice.

#3 See exotic mammals with confidence

Stop turning away cases and start enjoying the variety that makes veterinary medicine exciting again.

Exotic Companion Mammal Essentials is right for you if you are:

  • A small animal GP who secretly panics when a rabbit, ferret or rodent shows up the schedule (even though you want to help them)

  • A vet who loves medicine, but feels under-trained, under-supported and overwhelmed when it comes to exotic mammals

  • A little rebellious at heart and craving something more exciting, meaningful, and challenging than another itchy goldendoodle

  • An ER vet who can stabilize dogs and cats in your sleep, but feels unsure or even panicked when faced with an exotic patient in crisis

  • A clinician who worries about missing subtle signs in prey species that crash quickly

  • A vet professional that isn't quite ready to embrace all exotics, but wants to start seeing more species

You're in the right place

By the end of Exotic Companion Mammal Essentials, you'll...

01

Feel prepared for the unexpected

because you'll finally know how to approach exotic mammal cases methodically instead of scrambling for answers in the moment.

02

Communicate with clients more confidently

because you'll understand the "why" behind husbandry, nutrition, diagnostics, and treatment recommendations.

03

Finally feel like the well-rounded, capable vet you trained to be

because you didn't go to vet school to treat just one or two species. Expand your skillset beyond dogs and cats and become the go-to vet in your area for exotic mammal vet care.

04

Trade goldendoodle ear infections for cases that actually excite you

by adding variety to your caseload with exotic patients that challenge you, light you up, and remind you that vet med can be fun.

05

Stop turning away revenue (and feeling guilty about it)

because you'll be confidently treating exotics cases that walk through your door and won't need to refer every rabbit, guinea pig, and ferret to the specialty clinic an hour away.

06

Stop playing small and start building the career you actually want

because you did it their way. Now it's time to do what you want. Say yes to the cases that excite you, stand out in your community, and create a career that feels like yours, not the one you were told you were supposed to have.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You've got questions. I've got answers.

What if I don't have much (or any) experience with exotic mammal patients?

You are exactly who this course is for. You don't need a background in exotic mammals to succeed here. The lessons are short, practical, species-specific, and designed to give you a clear, repeatable system you can use right away.

What if I'm already overwhelmed in practice? I'm worried I won't be able to keep up.

I've been there!

I built this course with busy veterinarians in mind. Lessons are 15-20 minutes long and easy to fit into your day.

You'll have access to all the modules for a year, so there's no rush to "keep up."

You can learn at your own pace, revisit modules anytime, and use the tools whenever you need them.

How much time will I need each week?

Most students spend 1-3 hours per week watching lessons and reviewing resources. The schedule is flexible - lessons are short enough you can watch during a lunch break (if you want to - hold those boundaries, girl!) or whenever fits your life.

Is this course RACE-approved? Will I get CE credit?

Yes, this course is RACE-approved for 6 hours of CE, so you can enroll knowing it meets professional standards.

When are the live coaching calls? What if I can't attend?

The live coaching calls will take place on Monday February 2 and 16 at 12 pm CT. If >1/2 the group can't meet at that time, I will add an additional meeting time (typically a weekday evening).

All live calls will be recorded and you'll have access to the replays. You can also submit questions ahead of time and still get the answers you need, even if you can't be there live.

When does the course start?

The next cohort begins January 26, 2026. We'll start the coaching calls the following week so you can settle in and get familiar with the platform.

Does this course cover emergency or urgent care presentations?

Absolutely. I've treated exotic emergencies for over 12 years in practice and now I consult for VEG ER for Pets exotics cases. Many vets enroll in this course specifically because they feel unprepared for exotics emergencies.

You’ll get species-specific stabilization checklists, diagnostic flowcharts, and real-world case examples so you’re not guessing when a critical patient walks in.

How is this different from reading a textbook or attending a conference lecture?

Textbooks tell you what to do. This course tells you how to do it. You'll get step-by-step systems, quick-reference tools, case reviews, and real-time coaching so you can apply what you learn immediately, without spending hours searching through articles or notes.

Can I really learn exotic veterinary medicine online?

Yes! What most veterinarians lack isn't hands-on skills, it's a system. This course gives you the frameworks, confidence, and decision-making clarity you need to walk into an exotics appointment without panic. The hands-on skills, like restraint or venipuncture, become much easier when you understand the "why" and the "how."

Is there a payment plan?

Yes! You can pay in full ($499) or elect for 4 monthly payments of $125 each.

How long do I have access to course materials?

You will have access to video modules for 1 year from the course start date. Once downloaded, you have lifetime access to all other materials (handouts, knowledge summaries, lesson transcripts, etc).

How is this course different from Exotic Vet Med Essentials?

Exotic Vet Med Essentials (full course) includes all 3 species groups:
✔ Exotic Companion Mammals
✔ Avian
✔ Reptile & Amphibian
Plus all bonuses, all quick-reference PDFs, and all group calls.

Exotic Companion Mammal Essentials (ECM-only) includes:
✔ The entire mammal curriculum
✔ All mammal-specific bonuses, checklists, flowcharts, and quick refs
✔ Access to two 1-hour group calls
✔ 6 hours of RACE CE for the mammal modules (included in the 18 total)
It’s perfect if you want to get confident in rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, and rodents first.

If you take Mammal Essentials and decide you want more, you can upgrade to the full course at the regular price of $1299 (minus what you paid already!) vs. buying Mammal, Reptile & Amphibian and Avian separately at $499 each

You can do this - and you don't have to do it alone!

Here's what I want you to remember...

You're not "bad at exotics"

You've simply never been given a clear, practical system that actually works in real life clinical practice.

You already have the foundation

You're a smart, capable veterinary professional who just needs the species-specific guidance vet school skimped out on.

You care deeply about your clients and patients

That alone puts you miles ahead - and it's why you're even considering this step.

You don't have to figure everything out by yourself

I’ll be here to guide you with structure, support, and real-world tools you can use immediately.

You're allowed to want more

More confidence. More clarity. More excitement in your career. If you've been craving more, this is your sign to go for it.

The future version of you is closer than you think

Your career shifts the moment you decide it does. If your heart is leaning towards "yes", trust it!

Ready to feel calm, capable, and confident with exotic mammals?

You already have the foundation. I'm here to help you build a system that feels doable, sustainable, and aligned with how you already practice.

✨ A final note from me

If you’re still reading this, there’s a reason.

Some part of you wants something to change - maybe in your confidence, maybe in your career, maybe in how you feel walking into an exotic appointment. And I want you to know…I get it on a level I don’t often talk about.

When I first started out, I had no real mentorship in exotics. I was expected to figure it out on the fly, to “just make it work,” even when I felt completely unprepared. That kind of pressure adds up. And for me, it eventually led to deep burnout and a level of dissatisfaction that made me question whether I even belonged in this profession.

Then came my autoimmune diagnosis. Nothing forces you to re-evaluate your life faster than realizing the way you're practicing medicine...the pace you're keeping...the pressure you're carrying...is literally hurting you. I knew I couldn’t keep running on adrenaline and sheer determination. Something had to change.

And what truly changed everything was the moment I realized I didn’t have to keep living the life or building the career I was “supposed to.”

I didn’t have to follow the traditional path. I didn’t have to grind myself into the ground. I didn’t have to pretend I was okay when I wasn’t. I could choose something different - something more aligned, more fulfilling, more me.

That realization is what led me to rebuild my career around clarity, purpose, and the kind of medicine that lights me up.

And it’s why I built Exotic Vet Med Essentials, and will keep building new courses.

I built this for the veterinarians who care deeply.

For the ones who show up even when they’re scared.

For the ones who want to love this part of medicine but don’t feel like they can yet.

For the ones who know there has to be a different way - and are finally ready to take that step.

You don’t have to keep guessing.

You don’t have to keep feeling alone.

And you don’t have to burn yourself out trying to piece this together by yourself.

You already have the foundation.

Let me help you build the rest - in a way that feels supportive, sustainable, and genuinely exciting.

I’d be honored to walk alongside you inside Essentials.

You’re ready for this. And I’ve got your back.
