The morning 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. Afternoon sessions will demonstrate techniques for successful IACUC meetings and how to meet the challenges of protocol review, followed by news and updates from AAALAC, OLAW and USDA.
