| Description: | The Labvet Europe programme aims at qualifying designated laboratory animal veterinarians to the level demanded by the 2010/63 EU directive on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes and the subsequent guidance paper. It is to be seen as continuation of the competencies gained from following the previous FELASA category D programmes, but it is solely dedicated to those thousands of vets who work world-wide as designated laboratory animal veterinarians. The programme is 100 % online and it is accredited by the Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations (FELASA). It is structured to offer you knowledge and skills you can use in your daily work as a designated veterinarian. You can see the specific knowledge and skills you acquire on the programme learning outcomes |
