PRIMR22 day two will start with the presentation of the PRIM&R Service Award to Clement A. Adebamowo, BM, ChB, ScD, FWACS, FACS, Professor, University of Maryland School of Medicine, followed by Plenary II.

Plenary II Descriptor: Working with research animals can lead to compassion fatigue due to challenging work such as euthanizing animals, animal pain/distress, difficulty publicly discussing work, and feeling undervalued by society. However, compassion fatigue resiliency can be promoted through general awareness, self-care, work/life balance, staff connections, culture of care, and the 3Rs. This compassion fatigue also extends beyond the facility walls and can impact IACUC members and others who are not direct animal handlers. This panel will address compassion fatigue in the lab animal setting, how compassion satisfaction can help personnel to thrive, and what resources are available and could be implemented in your setting.

Learning Objectives:

Learn about compassion fatigue and the factors unique to the animal care and use field that lead to it
Explore the concept of “compassion satisfaction” and discover ways to promote resiliency on an individual and institution levels
Discover how compassion fatigue resiliency fits into justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and how your institution can benefit from addressing compassion fatigue resiliency in your program
