The training component is web based and involves self education on various hazards that may be associated with animal use in research. The content of the training is based on the particular species of animal or other risk factors involved in individual research projects. Once the material is reviewed, the training is self reported through the ROHP system. Individuals are notified regarding which parts of the training they need to complete. The training material is available on this web site.

The medical component of ROHP is conducted by Boynton Health Service. Individuals, again, will be notified regarding which medical requirements need to be completed and will consult with a health care provider at Boynton.
