IACUC Training Policy for Using Live Animals in Teaching Classes or for Observational Field Studies
A long and short version of a training hand-out entitled, "Use of Live Animals in Teaching Classes and Observational Field Studies" is available for the purpose of training students in teaching classes and individuals involved in observational field studies about the animal care program.
All instructors and teaching assistants should be familiar with the long version of "Use of Live Animals in Teaching Classes and Observational Field Studies". The short version should be incorporated into the class syllabus. The use of these forms for training will make it unnecessary for students in teaching classes and individuals involved in observational field studies to complete the regular training program and the certification exam.
The long and short training versions direct individuals to the Animal Care Program's website, which has information on minimizing risks, including allergies, in working with animals under occupational health and safety. All individuals who may be at risk, i.e. anyone handling animals or coming into close contact with them, should be directed to review this information.
