Humanimal Trust is pleased to announce the premiere of our co-funded documentary film series with InterNICHE - DVM: Training the Animal Doctor with the launch of the first documentary Surgery and the SynDaver Canine which will take place online on Friday 1st March 24.
Surgery and the SynDaver Canine is a 37-min documentary film that provides a case study of an advanced synthetic model with multiple functionalities for veterinary clinical skills and surgery training.
The film features interviews with university teachers and developers, expert demonstrations of structure and function, and footage of student practical classes for training in abdominal surgery.
It is part of the documentary film series DVM: Training the Animal Doctor. The series follows the trajectory of a veterinary degree and explores how humane innovations are replacing animal experiments and enhancing veterinary education across the disciplines - and across the world.
We are delighted to offer Humanimal Trust supporters the opportunity to join the online premiere and the Q&A with the presenters that follows this Friday at 7pm UK time.
