为兽医教师颁发创新假牛和羊网奖

Share:

梅西大学兽医学院的兽医教师因在教学中创新地使用动物模型而不是使用活体动物而获得了国际奖项。这些教师获得了拉什奖(Lush Prize)的认可,这是对终止或取代动物试验的努力的最大奖项,以表彰他们在基础外科教学课中完全禁止使用真绵羊所做的工作。

老师们花了多年的时间寻找创造性的材料来制作动物模型。从由各种物品制成的简单模型到复杂的模型,例如Hereford Hereford Hereriot(一款逼真的产仔模拟器),不一而足。这种产仔模型售价7.5万美元,是从加拿大进口的,它允许将灵活模型的小牛放置在假牛体内,以任何可能卡住真实的小牛的方式。

这些模型的使用使学生能够学习如何识别小牛何时出现错误,以及如何重新调整其位置以实现安全分娩。工作人员还使用硅和不同等级的皮革等材料制作了缝合练习的基本模型。

老师们还使用假狗呕吐物来帮助学生学会诊断犬科疾病。然后,他们可以从虚拟药房分发假药,并对假狗进行静脉注射治疗。

尽管教师们正在努力用最具侵入性的练习模型代替真实的动物,但真实的动物仍被广泛用于帮助学生学习操作和检查。但是,这些模型意味着学生在必须将其用于真实动物之前已经掌握了关键技能。

兽医学院院长乔恩·赫克斯利教授表示,拉什奖颁发的资金将再投资于梅西的临床技能模型。他还指出,正在开展一场取代在教学中使用真实动物的全球运动,兽医教师在国际上分享想法。
