Virtual AAALAC Chat: Completing Surgical Records for Mice & Rats
Continued excellence in animal care and use, and in research, takes continued collaboration.
Join the Animal Care & Use Team, along with colleagues from other partner departments, as we continue preparations for the upcoming AAALAC 2020 Site Visit 
in August.
Co-hosted by Lucy Kennedy, DVM, DACLAM, ULAM Assistant Attending Veterinarian, and Erin Czarniak, BS, CPIA, LATg, Assistant Director – Quality Assurance in the Animal Care & Use Office, the Virtual AAALAC Chat: Completing Surgical Records for Mice & Rats will explore how to identify common mistakes when completing peri-operative and post-operative records, and outline why surgical records have been identified as an important topic to review prior to the Site Visit.
Virtual AAALAC Chats are short, 30-minute sessions that provide a quick overview and resources on specific topics of interest and importance to the U-M research community.
