The University of Mississippi Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee
PROFICIENCY CRITERIA FOR RESEARCH ANIMAL SURGERY
USDA Regulations (9 CFR 2.32; §2.31,d,1,viii) require that individuals performing surgery on animals be appropriately qualified and trained. PHS Policy (IV.C.1.f.) requires that personnel conducting procedures on the species being maintained or studied will be appropriately qualified and trained in those procedures. All investigators and staff who perform or participate in surgery on laboratory animals in any teaching, testing, or research protocol at The University of Mississippi must complete mandatory training.
Instructions: Submit a signed form to Dr. Harry Fyke, Attending Veterinarian, B-104 NCNPR. Dr. Fyke will observe and certify trainee, sign the form and provide comments as necessary. The form is maintained in the corresponding protocol folder in the IACUC office, 100 Barr Hall. One copy is maintained by the Animal Facility Supervisor and a second copy is sent the principal investigator for his/her records. The trainee should make a copy of this certification for his/her records. Contact the IACUC staff at 915-7482 or [email protected] for assistance. |
