Join us for a full day didactic and interactive training course for new as well as seasoned IACUC members, IACUC affiliates including IACUC administrators, trai ners, veterinarians, animal care staff, researchers, regulatory personnel, individuals responsible for their institution's animal care program, and others interested in IACUC roles and responsibilities. The program is delivered by a top-notch faculty renowned for their expertise in institutional animal care and use issues and program development, including representatives from both private and academic biomedical research institutions, as well as the AAALAC, OLAW, and USDA. The morning and afternoon breakout sessions will provide a basic yet comprehensive overview of the laws, regulations, and policies that govern the humane care and use of laboratory animals, supplemented with examples and possible approaches for successful and effective administration. Current resources to help IACUCs keep abreast of the latest information as well as take advantage of networking opportunities will also be covered. Please join your colleagues as we share insights on the best way to achieve compliance, while maintaining the balance between assuring animal welfare and facilitating valuable research, testing, and teaching.
