Medical Schools Say No To Dissection

February 11, 2017 By Y3K

All of U.S. medical schools including Yale, Harvard, and Stanford don’t use animal dissection to teach medical students.  The future doctors of America are using simulations, life-like models, and interactive computer programs to learn how to treat human patients. Y3K Tutor In Your Home maintains that there is a better alternative for every animal dissection assignment that any biology teacher might ask of a student.
