IACUC Certification: Surgery & Anesthesia

To allow greater flexibility for research staff, the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) through the auspices of the Department of University Animal Care (UAC) has prepared this "self-instruction" module. Please read the following general information and complete the quiz. You must achieve 85% or greater to become certified.

Much of this informational packet may seem unduly restrictive, please understand that Federal law now defines and determines virtually each step of a research project using animals. The specifics  contained in these pages are compiled from these various laws and regulations, as well as current recommendations from experts.

Alternative format: Surgery & Anesthesia Packet  (PDF Document - print packet & mail quiz)  Note: Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.
