The Surgical Technique Workshop on Femoral Artery and Jugular Vein Catheterization is geared towards beginner to moderately skilled surgeons and combines didactic and hands-on training in surgical techniques for the laboratory rat. Students will learn the critical components required to perform survival rodent surgery. The format of the workshop is such that the student-teacher ratio remains low and enables more direct participation and guidance. 

This workshop is divided into two half-day sessions with each session focusing on a particular surgical procedure. Included in the registration fees are course materials, animal models, student manuals and lunch. Students have the option to register for one or both sessions. Charles River is deeply grateful to Drexel University College of Medicine for hosting this workshop.
