 The Physicians Committee is turning the spotlight on eight advanced medical training programs that use and kill animals in spite of the fact that more effective, cruelty-free alternatives exist. Please help us continue our string of success in convincing programs to adopt training methods that are more human-relevant by signing petitions to each of the institutions listed below.

. University of Washington ...is the only paramedic program in the northwest region of the United States known to use animals to teach emergency procedures.

2. Baystate Medical Center ...continues to use live animals for ATLS courses while 99 percent of all other programs have modernized their methods.

3. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center ...uses sheep to teach emergency medicine residents despite the fact that the school already has a state-of-the-art simulation center called the Patient Safety Training Center.

4. Hennepin County Medical Center ...uses and ultimately kills 200 live rabbits and sheep each year to teach emergency medicine residents procedural skills.

5. North Dakota State University ...is one of the only two known ATLS training programs in the United States and Canada to continue to use live animals instead of simulators.

6. University of Missouri Columbia School of Medicine ...requires emergency medicine residents to cut into live pigs to practice procedures while 91 percent of surveyed programs teach the same procedures using high-fidelity mannequins and simulators.

7. University of Toledo ...continues to use live pigs for emergency medicine training, despite the fact that the school admits in its animal use protocol that all reviewed published studies "concluded that humane methods were adequate to acheive the desired skills."

8. Vanderbilt University ...harms and ultimately kills goats and pigs in emergency medicine training programs, even though the school's ATLS program teaches the same procedures using nonanimal simulators only.
