The University Veterinarian is the institutional attending veterinarian for Auburn University and is responsible for assuring the health and well-being of all vertebrate animals at the university. To accommodate the diversity of species and decentralized nature of the Auburn University animal care and use program, the duties of the University Veterinarian may be shared or delegated to other veterinarians.
