MSMR presents professional development workshops for the research community on such topics as:
- IACUC rights, roles and responsibilities
- Bereavement and sensitivity for laboratory animal professionals
- Crisis planning and communications
- Personal and institutional security
- On-line training for IACUC community members
- Harmonization of IACUCs, IRBsand IBCs
We also offer in-house training to our member organizations
in public outreach, communication, team-building, employee awareness
and other topics. MSMR workshops are a combination of expert lecture
and symposium and hands-on case-method and role-play learning. Leading
experts in the field from government agencies, accrediting organizations,
private firms and member companies lead our workshops.
Employees of MSMR member organizations receive discounted or free tuition at
our workshops. For many of our workshops and conferences, members of States United for Biomedical Research (SUBR) also receive tuition discounts.

On-Line Training for IACUC Community Members ... and others
Now Eligible for RACE-approved credits.
Introduction to Animal Care and Use Committees. This 6-week course covers all the basics for a new community member. It is also good adjunct training for new IACUC adminstrators or members who have not yet had the chance to take IACUC 101 or a similar course.
How does our on-line training program work?
The program consists of six lessons, one each week for six weeks. You can complete the lesson and its associated exercise at any time during the week. The instructor will have on-line office hours/chat sessions once each week: you'll receive the schedule upon registration. Successful completion of each weekly module is required before you can progress to the next module. When you successfully finish all six lessons, you will receive a Certificate of Completion.
Veterinarians and veterinary technicians who successfully complete this course are eligible for 6.0 CE hours. Call the MSMR office for details.
The next session begins on June 7, 2013. If you'd like to be on the early notification list for the next session, e-mail us, including your name, institution and phone number.
