Purpose
This page explains what you need to do to become level 1-certified and gain access to the facility
Introduction
In order to obtain card swipe access to the IRC, you must first become Level 1-certified. Level 1 training typically is offered only during IRC Safety & Training Week (S&TW). Read about how to register for the classes on the S&TW wiki page. Users must attend a 1-hour class in the BIC and pass a quiz immediately after the class. The training is composed of a safety tour of the IRC, a demonstration of how to use the most important safety features of the equipment, and an explanation of how to screen MRI research subjects. A requirement of maintaining Level 1 certification is your subscription to the bicc-res e-mail list. After attending the Level 1 safety training, you will be automatically subscribed to the bic-res list. If you unsubscribe from this list, you will immediately lose access to the BIC, and your Level 1 certification is revoked.
