Hi everyone,
I am pre-medical and trying to figure out what exactly will occur in medical school with regard to dissection. I have no problems with human cadaver labs, but the thought of dissecting animals, especially dogs or cats, turns my stomach (yeah, I am an animal lover). Do you do any animal dissections in med school or is it all performed on cadavers? I know med schools used to offer live animal labs, but most have discontinued this practice. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks!
