OLAW Conversations: Case Studies, You Choose- 2.0
December 19, 2024 | 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET | Virtual
Join us for a continuation of the Case Studies conversation! Back by popular demand, this is the third in a series of interactive sessions on change management. This session will discuss more scenarios from the list you voted on in last week’s session. We will again be joined by Elaine Kim, B.S. CPIA, Sr. Technical Professional, KBR/Wyle LLC, who will provide insight into change management strategies and practical challenges in IACUC administration.
In response to participant feedback, we will be having a slightly shorter session this time and might not be able to get to all of the remaining scenarios. Therefore, we ask that all registrants express their interest in discussing each case study from extremely interested to not interested at all. Expressing your preferences for this session is anonymous and completely voluntary, and there are no negative consequences for choosing to vote or not. All case studies/scenarios are fictional; any resemblance to real life is completely coincidental. Please complete by Thursday, December 12, 2024.
