Training
It is composed of theory and hands-on courses. The theory course is obligatory to all students and researchers who intend to use Qatar University Laboratory Animal Research Center (LARC), regardless of previous training they may have had at other organizations. The hands-on course is obligatory only for all personnel who will be handling live animals at LARC. It is our obligation to help researchers and students to be trained and certified to use the laboratory animal at LARC in a humane and responsible manner. This training program will give the trainee a general understanding on the regulations and responsibility in using laboratory animals for research. The successful participants will be awarded course completion certificates. A copy of HCULA certificate should be submitted with research protocols for QU-IACUC approval.

Euthanasia is an important component of animal research. Researchers use humane methods to euthanize their research animals and collect tissue samples. The objectives of this basic training module are:
1. To define humane euthanasia methods in rodent research
2. To understand the importance of Necropsy procedures in rodent research
3. To know organ collection procedures
This training program includes both Theoretical and hands-on instructions. This program offers great opportunity for science and medical students to gain knowledge on the basics of rodent euthanasia, necropsy and organ collection procedures in rodents (rats and mice). Successful participants will be awarded with participation certificate.

Anesthesia and Analgesia in Laboratory Rodents- Module I: Basic Module.
This is a basic training program on Anaesthesia and Analgesia in Laboratory Rodents-
Module I focuses on the use of anaesthetics and analgesics used for animal experiments. Experimental procedures on lab animals often require anaesthesia and analgesia to obtain adequate immobilization and to reduce stress or pain. This training module covers both the theory and hands on instructions on basic rodent anaesthesia, common rodent anaesthetics, use of anaesthesia machine, induction, monitoring anaesthesia and recovery.
The program offers a great opportunity for the students to gain knowledge on the basic rodent anaesthesia & analgesia, selection of anaesthetics and pre and post-operative care of animals. The successful participants will be awarded participation certificates.
