Marine Mammals of Maine (MMoME) is now accepting applications through February 12th, 2023 for marine mammal veterinary preceptorship positions. The preceptorship begins on May 15th, 2023, and extends through August 15th, 2023. Applicants must be able to commit to the full preceptorship as partial terms are currently not offered. MMoME is a non-profit organization federally authorized to respond to live and dead marine mammals and sea turtles between Kittery and Rockland, Maine, covering some of the busiest seal stranding activity on the East Coast. MMoME also operates a unique triage and rehabilitation center which provides critical care to sick and injured pinnipeds from all over New England. Additionally, our mission heavily encompasses marine mammal research and education. We are seeking actively enrolled veterinary students to assist with the upcoming 2023 harbor seal pup season. Preceptors, interns, and volunteers are critical in fulfilling our mission and are given the unique opportunity to participate in a variety of activities. On a day-to-day basis, preceptors work under the supervision and direction of MMoME staff and join our marine mammal veterinarian for regular patient rounds and a mentored project. Additionally, preceptors work daily alongside non-veterinary interns as a team leader to accomplish our broad scope of work during our busiest time of year. Preceptors will learn marine mammal field health assessment, handling, husbandry, and clinical care of pinnipeds, as well as data collection, necropsy, and sampling of deceased marine mammals. The preceptorship is based out of Midcoast Maine (town of Brunswick), though travel throughout our response region and New England will be necessary. Preceptors will be required to dedicate a minimum of 50 hours per week (4-5 days/week), and will include holidays, weekends, late nights, early mornings, and overnight care for critical patients as needed.
