On Thursday, June 5, and Friday, June 6, 2003 in Baltimore, Maryland,
the **University of Maryland School of Medicine** and the NIH Office of
Laboratory Animal Welfare will co-sponsor the ARENA IACUC 101.5 at the
University of Maryland School of Medicine. This course is a SPECIAL ONE
AND A HALF DAY PROGRAM with the traditional ARENA IACUC 101 agenda on
Day 1 followed by a one-half day of four-tract/three-topic highly
interactive sessions on Day 2.

ARENA IACUC 101.5 is a full day didactic and interactive training course
PLUS a one-half day of interactive sessions for new as well as seasoned
IACUC members, IACUC affiliates, including IACUC administrators,
trainers, veterinarians, animal care staff, researchers, regulatory
personnel, individuals responsible for their institution's animal care
program, and others interested in IACUC roles and responsibilities. The
program is delivered by a top-notch faculty renowned for their expertise
in institutional animal care and use issues and program development
including representatives from both private and academic biomedical
research institutions, as well as the AAALAC, USDA and OLAW. The morning
and early afternoon sessions will provide a basic yet comprehensive
overview of the laws, regulations, and policies that govern the humane
care and use of laboratory animals supplemented with examples and
possible approaches for successful and effective administration. Current
available resources to help IACUCs keep abreast of the latest
information, as well as take advantage of networking opportunities, will
also be covered. The materials and information provided during the
course will be applied during the later afternoon session when students
will be challenged to consider, deliberate, and develop action plans for
a variety of potential IACUC scenarios. Students receive an extensive
resources manual as well as copies of relevant laws, regulations,
policy, and guides.
