NWRA provides continuing education, publishes a peer-reviewed journal, and convenes an annual symposium that delivers RACE-approved veterinary continuing education and hands-on workshops. In the last few years NWRA has expanded member services and digital resources — reporting more than 1,500 professional members in 2023, broad global readership of its Wildlife Rehabilitation Bulletin, substantial on-demand continuing education content, and active scholarship and research grant programs to support professional development and evidence-based care.
