Norwegian
regulations and ethics
LAS update module for persons that have
taken lab animal science training outside Norway and plan to do animal studies
at MED-UiB.
Persons with a course, for example a
FELASA-C-accredited course from another county less than 5 years ago, or that
can document minimum training according to EU directive 2010/63 article 23,
Annex V - will get their training approved at UiB-MED.
Send you training certificate to aurora.bronstad@uib.no for
evaluation.

"National LAS course - Norway".
There is still a demand to go
through a training program regarding Norwegian regulations and ethics and
institutional rules.
There might also be a
need to document practical skills depending on which procedures are relevant
for the up-coming study.
The theoretical training program consists of 2 steps,
self-study, and a test.

Persons performing procedures in animals
Practical training and skills must be documented
for persons performing procedures.
If not persons performing procedures must be
supervised when they perform tasks until they have demonstrated that they
