The role and responsibilities of the enrichment coordinator (2013)

Neeb, K.

Abstract

The challenges with being an Enrichment Coordinator can be as variable as your roles and responsibilities. But the rewards are just as great. As an Enrichment Coordinator, I am able to be part of bettering the research community. I support researchers in their goals and help them to maintain better animal models. I encourage them to understand ways they can work with the animals instead of against them. I also serve as an advocate for the animals in their environments to help ease the stress that any form of captivity can bring about.
