MicroIsolator Technology (MIT) Training and Annual Refresher - UCAR/DLAM have developed an on-line training course for MicroIsolator Technology (MIT) in the Blackboard Learning System. MicroIsolator Certification includes the successful completion of the MIT course in Blackboard and “hands-on” training.

MIT training and certification are required for all personnel entering animal rooms that use microIsolator technology husbandry strategy. 

If you don’t have an existing Blackboard account, navigate to “Create New Blackboard User Account” and create an account.
