Simulator-based training in veterinary medicine: Teaching animals increasingly replaced by dummies

Simulator-based training in veterinary medicine: Teaching animals increasingly replaced by dummies: Skills training of veterinary students is increasingly based on teaching simulators. This does not only allow a reduction of animal-based interventions but provides students with an opportunity for repeated and stress-free training sessions. Researchers have demonstrated that simulator-based training can be extremely efficient to achieve learning outcomes in veterinary gynecology.
