Why Become CMAR Certified?

The Certified Manager of Animal Resources (CMAR) program is designed specifically for the laboratory animal resources manager. The alliance combines AALAS’s and LAMA’s expertise in laboratory animal science with ICPM’s expertise in management to form a joint certification program for laboratory animal managers. Certification provides an unbiased measurement of a person’s ability to perform certain tasks and functions. Individuals who hold a professional certificate are a step ahead of their peers with tangible evidence of their ability to perform.

Laboratory animal resource managers face many challenges including an increasingly multicultural workforce, rapidly changing technology, and ever changing regulation and institutional policies. Managers who can consistently and effectively meet these challenges are in great demand. The CMAR program is designed to raise competency and professionalism in the field of laboratory animal resources management.
