The University of Oklahoma Medical Center just confirmed to PCRM that it has stopped killing goats in its trauma training course and now employs nonanimal training methods. But sheep at Massachusetts General Hospital still need your help. Despite thousands of messages from people like you, the hospital killed sheep in its trauma training course this May. Help us end animal use in all upcoming courses at the hospital.

PCRM’s ongoing survey of ATLS programs in the United States and Canada has found that 188 of the 201 programs (more than 90 percent) that have responded exclusively use nonanimal models for instruction. The vast majority of those 189 programs exclusively use the TraumaMan System.


Contact Massachusetts General Hospital’s ATLS course instructor, Susan Briggs, M.D., today and politely ask her to end animal use in the institution’s ATLS program before the October course.
