Pre-conference Events: IACUC 101 & AWIC Workshops October 24, 2010 | Bethesda, MD IACUC 101 - is a basic course that provides a one-day didactic and interactive exploration of IACUC fundamentals appropriate for new and seasoned IACUC members, IACUC affiliates, and individuals responsible for their institution's animal care program. The course provides a basic yet comprehensive overview of the laws, regulations, and policies that govern the humane care and use of research animals. Meeting the Information Requirements of the Animal Welfare Act: AWIC Workshop - is a one day workshop for individuals who are responsible for providing information to meet the requirements of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). This workshop is targeted for principal investigators, members of IACUCs, information providers, administrators of animal use programs, and veterinarians. All participants will receive a resource manual. Each participant must bring their own wireless enabled laptop for use during the workshop. Program information The symposium and pre-conference events will be held at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, Bethesda, MD.

Discounted registration rates available through August 31. Continuing Education The IACUC 101 workshop was reviewed and approved by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) RACE program for 6.5 hours of continuing education credits in jurisdictions which recognize AAVSB RACE approval. Please contact the AAVSB RACE program at <a href="mailto:race@aavsb.org">race@aavsb.org</a> should you have any comments/concerns regarding this program's validity or relevancy to the veterinary profession. The symposium and AWIC workshop have been submitted (but not yet approved) for hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize AAVSB RACE approval; however participants should be aware that some boards have limitations on the number of hours accepted in certain categories and/or restrictions on certain methods of delivery of continuing education.
