The Public Health Service and the USDA now require animal welfare training programs. In planning an animal welfare training program, three questions must be answered: Who? What? and How? An analysis of the groups and individuals required to participate can provide information for eventual course development. The determination of what is to be taught can occur only after an evaluation of existing programs, animal testing activities, and audits. The use of educational objectives can provide the basis for developing a course syllabus.
