National Veterinary Institute, Uppsala. 4. Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm (KI) 5. Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control, Stockholm The programme was initiated in 2004 by Vera Baumans, former professor of Laboratory Animal Science at KI and the maximum number of residents is 7. Training is individually tailored and supervised by four Swedish ECLAM Diplomates, one professor in Comparative Medicine and KI’s chief veterinarian. To join the programme, a permanent position as a veterinarian at one of the collaborating institutes is required. The Swedish programme comprises a four-year period of training. The objective is to provide the trainees with further education and training including both general and basic knowledge in the various fields of laboratory animal medicine and, in addition, the opportunity to become specialists in one of the disciplines relevant to laboratory animal medicine. The programme consists of two parts: A residency training programme of at least 2 years, starting with a basic course on laboratory animal science and 6-8 modules (total: 220 hours) which all cover the major aspects of laboratory animal medicine. This is followed by a period of daily practice at one of the participating institutions. Research training in one of the fields of laboratory animal medicine at one of the participating institutions. Apart from improving the participant’s critical thinking and research skills when approaching specific problems, the objective of this work is also for the participant to improve his/her skills in writing scientific articles by publishing at least two articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. |
