Department of Veterinary Medicine IACUC Training

The 蜜桃影像 Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is administered through the Office of Research Integrity. Department of Veterinary Medicine classes that include the use of live animals or cadavers all have IACUC protocols associated with them. All Department of Veterinary Medicine faculty, staff, and students included in a class IACUC personnel list must complete IACUC training before classes begin.

  • Animal Care & Use
  • Lab Researchers 鈥 Basic (or Lab Researchers 鈥 Refresher if renewing)
  • Working with Dogs
