| IACUC-Advanced Workshop | IACUC-Advanced Workshop
The workshop will be held on Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at McKenna Hall.
IACUC-Advanced was developed by the Scientists Center for Animal Welfare to train members of Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs). Topics presented at these educational workshop will help to fulfill the training requirements in USDA/APHIS/AC Policy 15 that states "IACUC members should be trained in understanding the Animal Welfare Act, protocol review and facility inspections.” Please click on the above tabs to see upcoming educational programs and SCAW publications The program format will let small groups discuss specific, complex topics that are relevant to IACUC functions. Each workshop is structured in similar design, with slight changes made to meet the needs of the hosting institution and or to reflect any updates. IACUC-Advanced workshops are for experienced IACUC members and others who work with laboratory animals. The focus will be on advanced protocol review and other issues, like what to look for in a protocol that includes relieved and/or unrelieved pain and distress; how to recognize and evaluate the level of pain and distress; appropriate end points stated in the protocol; special environmental conditions required because of potential pain and/or distress.
SCAW conferences and workshops will be reviewed and approved by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) RACE program and will meet the requirements for continuing education credit for Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians. Please contact AAVSB/RACE at race@aavsb.org should you have any comments/concerns regarding SCAW's program’s validity or relevancy to the veterinary profession. SCAW's AAVSB/RACE provider #293.
