| Prerequisites: |
Full and satisfactory participation in practical exercises is mandatory. To be allowed for the written exam the student must perform according to the claims of the EU Guidance Paper ( http://ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/lab_animals/pdf/Endorsed_E-T.pdf). If this is not the case the student will be called for follow up exercises during the course period. If performance is still not acceptable the student will without entering the practical exam be graded 'not passed'. |

| Learning outcome: |
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 as well as the Ministry of Environment and Food under the Danish Government. The course gives as practical and theoretic introduction to handling, housing and using laboratory animals and how to replace, refine and reduce the use of live animals for research. The course adheres to the more detailed learning outcomes described in the EU guidance paper 'A working document on the development of a common education and training framework to fulfill the requirements under the Directive' ( http://ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/lab_animals/pdf/guidance/education_training/en.pdf). After completing the course the student is expected to: Knowledge 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 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 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 No 12 of 07/01/2016 §56 |
| Accreditation body and/or authority that approved the education or training: |
Accredited by the Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations as well as the Ministry of Environment and Food under the Danish Government. |
| Qualification received: |
Certificate and 7.5 ECTS Criteria for exam assesment To achieve the grade passed, the student shall (in an adequate level) be able to: Knowledge: 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: 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 handle, do minor procedures and kill rodents for research at a level sufficient to fulfill learning outcomes 3.2.1. , 8.1. , 8.2., 8.3. , 6.2.1. , and 6.2.2. of the EU Guidance Paper ( http://ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/lab_animals/pdf/guidance/education_training/en.pdf) |
