Compliance Training

IRB Mandatory Online Education Modules

For information on and access to the mandatory education on the use of human subjects in research, visit the IRB Training and Education webpage.

Animal Care Mandatory Training and Orientation

Federal regulations require persons working with animals used for teaching or research be competent to perform their assigned duties and further require that competency be documented. This requirement extends to all personnel who perform procedures on live animals. All personnel who work with laboratory animals should be familiar with the facilities and policies of the Department of Comparative Medicine.

To comply with these requirements, the Saint Louis University Animal Care Committee has authorized the Department of Comparative Medicine to develop and present a mandatory training and orientation program. The program is presented twice each month to enable project personnel to attend a session during the two-week period during which the authorization to use animals in research or teaching is under review.
