Korean Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is currently facing some operational pressing issues. 1) Review of the animal protocol containing controversial technology. 2) Review of the multi-institution animal protocol. 3) Review of veterinary clinical trials for client-owned animals. 4) Delay the review process in large institutions with a single IACUC. Here, the following three solutions are proposed to address the above issues. 1) Establishment of public IACUC. 2) Establishment of the Veterinary Clinical Study Committee as an advisory body to the IACUC. 3) Operating multiple committees rather than increasing the number of committee members on a single committee.
韩国机构动物护理和使用委员会（IACUC）目前面临一些运营方面的紧迫问题。1）审查包含有争议技术的动物方案。2）审查多机构动物方案。3）审查客户所有动物的兽医临床试验。4）在只有一个 IACUC 的大型机构中延迟审查过程。这里提出以下三个解决方案来解决上述问题。1）建立公共 IACUC。2）成立兽医临床研究委员会作为 IACUC 的咨询机构。3）运作多个委员会，而不是在单个委员会中增加委员会成员的数量。
