SCAW Offers IACUC-Advanced Workshop

SCAW and other sponsors are holding a one-day workshop at the University
of Notre Dame on October 20, 2009. This will be an IACUC-Advanced
workshop and will provide necessary and recommended training for members
of IACUCs, Attending Veterinarians, Principal Investigators and others
who work with research animals. SCAW Institutional Members receive a
discounted registration fee which includes the workshop and food.

OLAW, AAALAC International, the FDA and USDA all encourage training as
part of every institution's animal care program. This is an opportunity
for a short but powerful training session that is regional and close to
home. The breakout sessions encourage participation from all attendees.
SCAW IACUC-Advanced workshops have very high ratings on the evaluation
forms, both for the excellent Faculty and for the program topics.

You can go to the SCAW web site at
http://www.scaw.com/iacuc-advanced.htm and find the program and
registration information under Notre Dame brochure.

If you are interested in a longer training session, SCAW will again hold
a two-day conference in San Antonio on December 7-8, 2009. This year
the program focuses on all aspects of creating and maintaining an IACUC.
Again, the program and registration information can be found on the SCAW
web site at http://www.scaw.com/conference.htm
