| Description: | Course objectives The course on laboratory animal science presents basic facts and principles that are essential for the humane use and care of laboratory animals and for the quality of research. The course has been approved by the Dutch government for the qualification of scientists who use animals for experimental purposes (in compliance with the Dutch Experiments on Animal Act [Wet op de Dierproeven]). For the function ‘designing procedures and projects’ the Dutch government requires competency. Therefore, the course consists of two parts, a basic course and a species specific course. These combined provide the required competence. The standard course contains the species specific module for mouse and rat. For other species an additional species specific course will have to be completed. |
