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

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
