How often are animals used in surgery training and research? I'm interested in surgery, but opposed to performing work on animals. I ask because I met a med student who's interested in vascular surgery. He was talking about procedures that he often performs on rats. Is it possible to go through residency (at an academic medical center) and never work with animals? Thanks.
