Workshop descriptions

IACUC 101 – “The Basics” - is a full day didactic and interactive educational program designed to provide Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) members, administrators, veterinarians, animal care staff, researchers, regulatory personnel and compliance officers with information on the role and responsibilities of IACUCs, including an understanding of federal policies and regulations governing laboratory animal welfare.

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 program concludes with open questions and answers to representatives of OLAW, USDA, and AAALAC.
