Euthanasia By Injection Workshops
Euthanasia by Injection in Animal Shelters
The Illinois Animal Welfare Federation presents Euthanasia by Injection training for animal shelter and animal control workers. This workshop meets the training requirements for the Certified Euthanasia Technician license in the State of Illinois. It is also approved training in Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin. Registration is limited to those working in companion animal welfare and control.
Euthanasia means a humane and stress-free end of life for the animals in shelter care. The IAWF intends to provide those workers who must euthanize the proper training in a supportive and compassionate environment to attain that desired result.
In this workshop, you’ll learn about anesthetics and legend drugs, anatomy, proper restraint, injection techniques, equipment, worker safety, legal requirements and verification of death. Instruction will be through lecture, discussion, videos, and hands-on lab work. You’ll watch and will perform animal euthanasia.

Description
Founded in 1990, the National Animal Cruelty Investigations School was the first of its kind, offering a combination of specialized veterinary and law enforcement training. Students from a range of backgrounds — including federal, state and local animal cruelty officers, humane society investigators and board members, police officers and sheriffs’ deputies, court personnel and other citizens — learn from experts about all aspects of animal welfare and safety.
The program has three different components (Professional-Advanced-Expert) that should be taken in order.
Registration preference will go to investigators with active investigations. Due to the nature of the business, topics discussed and videos shown during the schools will have graphic content and may not be suitable for everyone.
Continuing Education - Participants with a grade of 70% or more on the written examination will receive a certificate of completion and 40 continuing education units.
