| Summary of project | NYMC conducts a laboratory session for the first year medical students to learn the concepts of physiology applied on a anesthesized dog. The dog is sacrificed at the end of the lab. Each year, many students do not attend the lab due to a variety of reasons. The panel was composed of 3 students who attended the dog lab during their first year and 3 students who did not attend. Myriad topics were discussed ranging from ethical concerns to academic importance. The event was a huge success. |
