| Description: | Translational Training Tools™ (The 3 Ts) is a method used to provide training to individuals working with animals in research, testing and teaching settings. The 3 Ts incorporates simple, inexpensive, and effective hand-crafted tools to teach and encourage practice of non-surgical and surgical procedures, prior to conducting similar training and practice on live animals. We believe that when hands-on training is performed on a live animal too early in the trainee’s learning process; the teaching exercise is potentially compromised in multiple ways. The 3 Ts tools and training methods were developed to address several of the gaps that exist in the current methods of hands-on training for individuals learning to perform techniques on live animals. Using the 3 Ts teaching methods, trainees translate the skills they have learned on the 3 Ts inanimate training tools to successful practice on a live animal. |
