COURSE DESCRIPTION:
CLASS: This seminar provides an intensive and comprehensive review of selected topics in laboratory animal medicine and science. It is intended to serve the needs of veterinarians across a broad spectrum: clinical veterinarians, residents, training program directors, and facility directors. The course includes lectures on animal models, animal diseases and husbandry, equipment, facility design, IACUC issues, pain management, statistics and research methods.
POLA: This course is designed primarily for veterinarians and other allied scientist who are responsible for the recognition and interpretation of lesions in laboratory animals. It is intended to help attendees interpret spontaneous diseases which might affect experimental results, or alter the health of laboratory animals. Pathology will receive major emphasis in the course, but other features of diseases such as etiology, diagnosis, and control will also be given attention. The course will encompass a wide range of diseases including infectious, neoplastic, iatrogenic, nutritional, and metabolic conditions in a variety of laboratory animal species.
NOTE: EACH PARTICIPANT WILL BE GIVEN THE SYLLABUS ON CD FOR BOTH COURSES. THERE WILL BE NO PRINTED SYLLABI.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
CLASS: Each participant should leave the course with a new working knowledge of specific changes to the field of laboratory animal medicine and science. Attendees will acquire new and current information on select animal models, animal husbandry and disease, and research programs that will enable them to better oversee the daily operations of laboratory animal facilities. The information provided will assist practicing veterinarians in the field of laboratory animal medicine to prepare for board review and certification.
POLA: The major objective of this course is to review the pathology and, where appropriate, the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and control of infectious, neoplastic, iatrogenic, nutritional, and metabolic diseases of laboratory animals. At the completion of this course, attendees will be able to better recognize and interpret conditions which may affect experimental results or alter the health of laboratory animals.
