This elective course introduces students to the basic tenets of laboratory animal medicine including ethics of animal use in biomedical research, regulatory requirements (national and international), principles of replacement, reduction, and refinement when designing studies involving animals, animal models of human conditions, animal husbandry, biological safety, and animal welfare. The remainder of the course will be directed towards prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common clinical disease conditions in traditional and non-traditional laboratory animal species and associated clinical techniques. Comparative aspects of the biology and medicine among species and their relevance to human and veterinary conditions will be addressed. This course will provide the appropriate background for laboratory animal medicine rotations in the clinical year.
