Required Training for Undergraduate Students

Training Sources

Undergraduate Students listed as personnel on IBC protocols would choose the Learner Group called “Undergraduate Students” to sign up for the correct Biosafety course. The following modules are included in the training program for Undergraduate Students:

1. Biosafety Course Overview
2. Laboratory - Associated Infections
3. Risk Management - Work Practices
4. Work Safety with Sharp Instruments
5. Disinfection and Sterilization
6. Risk Management - Personal Protective Equipment
7. Risk Management - Emergency and Spill Response
8. Risk Management - Engineering Controls
9. Centrifuge Precautions
10. Safe Sharps Devices
11. Risk Management - Laboratory Design
12. NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules

After most CITI modules there is a multiple choice quiz that relates to that module. In order to obtain credit for the training, individuals must complete the quiz after each module and obtain an overall average passing score of 80%. Individual quizzes may be retaken, if necessary, in order to obtain a passing score.

Additional modules designated as optional are available in CITI. Optional modules may be completed at the discretion of the individual, but they are not required. Optional modules become available after the required modules have been completed.

Continuing Education: Undergraduate Students

Continuing education may be required for undergraduate students based upon the protocol activities, the type of agents used in the activity, and any changes made to the protocol over time.
