Since its inception in 1986, over 5,000 lab animal professionals have participated in the annual short course. Whether you are an experienced animal researcher seeking continuing educational credits, a veterinarian studying for the ACLAM boards or just starting your career in laboratory animal science, the Short Course offers lectures and workshops to put you on the path to success.

This year's Short Course offers over 60 lectures and 19 brand new topics given by our Charles River professional staff and invited guest speakers. These lectures are designed within three-track options so attendees can choose what lectures they want to hear. The course offers CE hours, an affordable room rate of $142, breakfast, lunch, breaks and a welcome reception dinner. The Charles River Short Course will be accepting poster abstracts. The deadline for abstract submission is May 5th (see the "Call for Posters" tab for details).
