This training is intended to acquaint the research staff with the practices and procedures associated with the use of live animals within MGH animal facilities.
This training provides information about such areas as:
Animal procurement

The training will present an overview of facility operations. The subsequent facility tour will provide the research staff with orientation to their intended animal facility, introduction to CCM staff, and specific facility practices of interest.
