How does someone become an ad hoc Consultant?
Individuals who want to become an ad hoc Consultant express their interest in writing in a letter to the AAALAC International office. They then complete and return an application to become a Consultant. Once a year, a committee of the Board and Council reviews all applications and recommends nominees based on established selection guidelines. Ad hoc Consultants must have a minimum of four years training or experience in the care or use of laboratory animals. Their experience must show that they have acquired knowledge of performance standards and regulations, and have demonstrated an interest in, and commitment to, laboratory animal science. Ad hoc Consultants serve a three-year term.
