PRIM&R webinars deliver comprehensive information on timely topics in the fields of human subjects protections and animal care and use. Webinars are first aired live, allowing attendees to interact with and ask questions of the presenters. Live webinars are recorded, and those recordings are shared with those who registered, and are made available for purchase so they can be watched at any time.
Convenient and affordable, webinars may be used to obtain continuing education credit from professional associations, including both the Certified IRB Professional or Certified Professional in IACUC Administration designations. A collection of relevant background reading, further reading, links, templates, checklists, and/or charts accompany each PRIM&R webinar.
