personnel, and others interested in IACUC roles and responsibilities.

(OLAW) and Qualiti Laboratories, will present ARENA IACUC 101. ARENA IACUC 101
is a full day didactic and interactive course. Participants will receive an
extensive Resources Manual plus other valuable reference material.
IACUCs have an enormous responsibility to ensure the humane care and use of
laboratory animals. This course will help educate those who are responsible for
their institution’s animal care program covering the rules, regulations and
policies necessary for compliance.
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
resources available to help IACUCs keep abreast of the latest information as
well as take advantage of networking opportunities will also be covered. The
documents and information provided during the course will be used in various
practice scenarios designed to put the newly acquired knowledge to use. The
later afternoon session will challenge participants to consider, deliberate and
develop action plans for a variety of potential IACUC scenarios. The program
will be 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.
