RCULA course is a regulatory requirement and meets the training guidelines outlined by the National Advisory Committee for Laboratory Animal Research (NACLAR) in Singapore. Successful completion and periodic refresher training are required to maintain compliance. This course is a pre-requisite for IACUC applications, and is designed to address the needs of principal investigators (PIs), researchers, scientists, medical technologists and all others involved in research procedures and training courses requiring the use of animal models. The course is delivered in two parts: a series of lectures followed by species-specific hands-on training with animals.

The use of a microscope enables surgical operations to advance from their originally macroscopic to the microscopic-sphere, and enables conducting translational research using the less expensive small animal models. This Microsurgery training will provide trainees with an opportunity to acquire a basic orientation to experimental microsurgery, and initiate a learning process to develop superior microsurgical technique in various research areas including cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, and ENT surgery.
