Notre Dame Certifies All Animal Care Staff

Associate Director Kay Stewart, RVT, RLATG, CMAR of the University of Notre Dame shared this update about AALAS certification:

After reading the March issue of JAALAS (finally) I was inspired to tell you of our certification success story. All of our animal care staff is certified at some level though AALAS. We have a policy that all new hires must pass at least the ALAT and it must happen within the first 18-24 months of employment. Also, all of our technicians are required to participate in the AALAS registry. We proudly display their certificates in the entryways of the facilities.
