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 for function A/B- will get their training approved at UiB-MED.

However:

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 upcoming study.

The theoretical training program consists of 2 steps, self-study, and a test.

Evaluation: passing the test with 90% correct
