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, USDA and OLAW. The morning and early afternoon 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 available resources to help IACUCs keep abreast of the latest information as well as take advantage of networking opportunities will also be covered. The materials and information provided during the course will be applied during the later afternoon session when students will be challenged to consider, deliberate and develop action plans for a variety of potential IACUC scenarios. Students receive an extensive resources manual as well as copies of relevant laws, regulations, policy and guides. ***************************************** IACUC 201 PLUS: "The Process Plus Select Topics" is a highly interactive program that takes the fundamentals of IACUC 101 and applies them to the process and mechanisms of ensuring compliance. The morning session is divided into 3 tracts based on an individual’s IACUC role, responsibility and interests. Each tract focuses on the various possible approaches for conducting protocol review, program review and facility inspection within the requirements of the law, regulations and policy. The entire group re-convenes to listen to a complex IACUC scenario delivered by program faculty with multiple opportunities for audience questions and responses from USDA, OLAW and AAALAC representatives.Like the morning session, the afternoon session is divided into 3 tracts based on an individual’s IACUC role, responsibility and interests. Program faculty will facilitate discussions on 3 selected areas, the nature of which will be based on current trends, regulatory climate and/or timely "hot-topics" of interest to the biomedical research community. Topics may vary course to course. The program concludes with open questions and answers to representatives of OLAW, USDA and AAALAC, completion of program evaluations and distribution of attendance certificates. |
