| Description: |
The course is a function A/B/D course according to the EU Directive 2010/63/EU Article 23.2 (previously designated category C), accredited by the Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations (FELASA) as well as the Ministry of Environment and Food under the Danish Government. The course gives theoretic introduction to handling, housing and using laboratory animals and how to replace, refine and reduce the use of live animals for research. It adheres to the EU Directive 2010/63/EU and the more detailed learning outcomes described by EU's expert working group in 'A working document on the development of a common education and training framework to fulfill the requirements under the Directive' (click here for more info: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/lab_animals/pdf/guidance/education_training/en.pdf). After completed course, the participant will receive a FELASA accredited certificate for the theoretical part from the University of Copenhagen, and will be registered in the European FELASA database. Please note that the course does not include any practical exercises with live animals. This can be achieved either by following the full course, or take practicals at a separate occasion. After completed course, and supplementary examination in practical skills, the participant will thus be entitled to achieve a personal license to independently plan, implement and take responsibility for the design and performance of animal experimentation within the European Union according to the EU Directive 2010/63/EU Article 23.2 and the Danish executive order 12 of 07/01/2016, §56. |

Knowledge After completing the course the student is expected to understand that animal experimentation is complicated and requires current training to secure the well-being of the animals and the scientific outcome explain the biological basis of laboratory animal breeding and maintenance, housing and management including basic genetics and reproduction, health monitoring, housing and handling (pre-, intra and post-procedural) explain the legal basis for animal experimentation explain and critically evaluate the scientific methods applied within animal experimentation including blood sampling, injections, principles for drug-development and testing, anesthesia and analgesia and evaluation of pain -and stress related behaviour in laboratory animals discuss the basic biology of laboratory animals including behavioural and physiological needs explain and critically evaluate basic knowledge relating to design and evaluation of studies using live animals Skills After completing the course the student is expected to organize self-training on handling and procedures in the most common laboratory animals discuss and evaluate the basic principles on how to use animals for research discuss and evaluate principles of procedures on their future experiments discuss, evaluate and argue about the ethical basis for the use of animals for research Competencies After completing the course the student is expected to independently take responsibility to implement and further develop practical skills in handling of common rodents used for research independently take responsibility to implement and further develop practical skills in the performance of basic animal experiments achieve a personal license to independently plan, implement and take responsibility for the design and performance of animal experimentation within the European Union according to the EU Directive 2010/63/EU Article 23.2 and the Danish executive order 12 of 07/01/2016, §56. |
