Medical School Curricula with Live Animal Laboratories
Below is a list of U.S. medical schools that
still use live animals to teach basic concepts in human physiology,
pharmacology, and/or surgery. More than 90 percent of all United States medical schools, including Harvard, Stanford, and Yale, have eliminated these old-fashioned
laboratories in favor of modern, cost-effective and humane alternatives.
Please write to your local universities and alma mater to express
your concerns about these crude exercises.
Please note that this list includes only schools
that use live animal laboratories to train medical students, and
does not refer to basic research that may be conducted at medical
schools and universities.
