Introduction to Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees

Introduction to Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees. This 6-week course covers all the basics for a new community member. It is also good adjunct training for new IACUC adminstrators or members who have not yet had the chance to take IACUC 101 or a similar course.

How does our on-line training program work?

The program consists of six lessons, one each week for six weeks. You can complete the lesson and it’s associated exercise at any time during the week. The instructor will have on-line zoom sessions once each week: you’ll receive the schedule upon registration. Successful completion of each weekly module is required before you can progress to the next module. When you successfully finish all six lessons, you will receive a Certificate of Completion.

Next session begins Friday 7/12/2024.  Course cost is $225 for Members and $275 for Non-Members.
