Investigators planning to use animals in their research and theInstitutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)members who review the research protocols must takepersonal responsibility for ensuring that they have the skills andknowledge to perform their duties, applying the Three Rsprinciples of Russell and Burch. The two Korean lawsintroduced in 2008 and 2009 regulating animal use forscientific purposes in line with the Three Rs principles havebeen revised a total of 11 times over the last 6 years. Bothregulatory agencies, e.g., the Animal and Plant QuarantineAgency and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, provideregular training based on the legal requirements. Based on theamended Animal Welfare Act, the IACUC appointmentframework has been upgraded: appointments are now fortwo-year terms and require a qualified training certificate issuedby the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency since 2012. Theauthors reviewed the current curricular programs and types oftraining conducted by the two governing agencies throughInternet searches. Our Internet survey results suggest that: a)diversity should be provided in training curricula, based on theroles, backgrounds and needs of the individual trainees; b)proper and continued educational programs should beprovided, based on trainees’ experiences; and c) active encouragementby government authorities can improve the quality oftraining curricula.
