IACUC 101™/201: Plus program is 2 full days of didactic and interactive educational opportunities for both new and seasoned IACUC members, IACUC affiliates and others who contribute to their institution’s animal care and use program. The "Plus" portion of this 2-day program includes additional Occupational Health and Safety, Wildlife and Post Approval Monitoring modules, as well as updates from USDA and OLAW and a provocative and highly interactive faculty skit that will surely get the conversations flowing. Didactic sessions address institutional responsibilities, IACUC charges, relevant informational resources, animal welfare laws, regulations and policies, and best practices.

Students also are challenged to consider, deliberate, and develop action plans for a variety of potential IACUC scenarios. The course includes Q&A sessions with representatives from USDA and OLAW.

This highly interactive, advanced program provides multiple opportunities to engage in real life applications of the basic concepts with the goals of learning new approaches and gaining new perspectives for managing issues that many animal care and use programs face.
