CITI Program Instructions for Animal Users
Once you've reached question 6 when adding a course in CITI, please do the following:
- If you are a faculty member you need to complete the "Researchers" training
- If you are a student, you will need to complete the "Students Working with Animals" module
- Both faculty and students conducting field research will need to complete the "Wildlife Research" module
- Faculty and students are encouraged to take the "Post Approval Monitoring (PAM)" module but it is NOT required.

The Animal Facility does require one on one training with our Attending Veterinarian prior to any surgical procedures being done by students.
