New LATG courses are now available on the AALAS Learning Library (ALL), which correspond with the 2007 revision of the LATG Training Manual. Because new questions based on the revised manual will be on the LATG certification exam starting in May, individuals who expect to take the exam before May 2008 can continue studying from the 2000 LATG Training Manual. Therefore, the 2000 course versions will be available until April. To avoid confusion, each version of the courses incorporates the date of the manual it is based on.
The Semiannual Facility Inspection
Developed by Martha Rooks, PhD, chair of the Online Learning Committee, this media-rich course offers a short scenario of a typical semiannual facility inspection. It may be used as an orientation or a refresher for personnel involved in IACUC inspections. Video clips show the process of an inspection where common issues are identified and a follow-up meeting in which these issues are addressed. The course summarizes the responsibilities of researchers and IACUC members in animal care and use programs, and specifically in a facility inspection. The course also offers a succinct description of basic information related to animal protocols, such as recognizing animal pain or distress and addressing the alternatives in a literature search. Streaming audio and video narrate the entire course.
