Practice of laboratory animal ethics in medical experiment class and its reflection

Abstract

Animal experiment is a primary part of medical education. At present , medical＆amp;nbsp;students are lack of education about laboratory animal ethics and they do not usually treat animals fol-lowing rules of laboratory animal ethics. To solve this problem, we focused on the education of labora-tory animal ethics and 3R theory （reduction, replacement, refinement） in order to help the medical students treat laboratory animals nicely. We enforced the construction of the laboratory rules and regu-lations, and improved animal experiments conditions. With these efforts, we successfully standardized and scientized our experiment classes. Key words: Laboratory animal ethics; Animal experiment; Medical student
