IACUCs play a pivotal role in ensuring ethical and compliant animal research practices. A well-structured training program for animal users is essential to maintain institutional standards and uphold regulatory requirements. This session will examine the core elements of effective IACUC training programs for animal users, including onboarding processes for new personnel and refresher mechanisms for experienced users. Attendees will explore qualitative and quantitative metrics to evaluate training efficiency, identify gaps in knowledge or performance, and support continuous improvement. The session will also highlight the importance of ongoing IACUC oversight in maintaining the competency of researchers and animal handlers over time.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore the IACUC’s role in designing and implementing a comprehensive training program tailored to the needs of new and experienced animal users
  • Develop and apply relevant metrics to assess the efficiency and impact of IACUC training initiatives
  • Establish mechanisms for continued IACUC oversight and performance monitoring to ensure long-term competency and compliance among animal users
