The VBI is proud to announce the Webinar: Fundamentals of Mouse Biomethodology

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - March 14, 2013 - PRLog -- The Veterinary Bioscience Institute (www.vetbiotech.com) is proud to announce the upcoming Webinar: Fundamentals of Mouse Biomethodology, occurring on Wednesday March 20th from 1:30-3:30 pm. https://vetbiotech.com/webinarreg.php?id=65

This webinar is designed to be an introduction to the fundamentals of mouse biomethodology, as well as to further refine the technical skills of participants who perform biomethodologies in rodents.  Participants will learn from faculty with decades of experience, and will impart their “tips and tricks” for best practices to limit stress on the animal, improve animal welfare, and more reliable data collection.

This interactive webinar is designed for scientists, veterinary technicians, veterinarians and technical support staff who want to learn or refresh their basic techniques for working with mice. The following topics will be demonstrated through images and videos: handling (one and two handed), collection techniques (submandibular vein, cardiac, subclavian artery and vein, jugular vein, vena cava, saphenous vein, dorsal metatarsal vein and retro-orbital sinus), and administration techniques (intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intradermal, tail vein, gavage and retro-orbital sinus).

This webinar meets the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS), Canadian Association for Laboratory Animal Science (CALAS), and Academy of Surgical Science (ASR) requirements for Continuing Education Units. Each participant will receive a Certificate of Attendance.

This webinar has been approved by the AAVSB RACE program for 2 continuing education credits for veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Please contact the AAVSB RACE program at race@aavsb.org should you have any comments/concerns regarding this program's validity or relevancy to the veterinary profession.
