ANIMAL CARE - IACUC
In this field we must all demonstrate compassion towards and a commitment to high quality patient care. In the event an animal used in the class becomes sick or injured, a veterinarian will examine the animal and all information pertaining to the case will be documented in the animal’s medical record. Those in question may face disciplinary action. Our animals are our finest educators and should be treated as such. Mistreatment or abuse of animals, supplies, or the medications used in class will not be tolerated.
