Putting our surgical skills to the test

<<The Rodent Survival Surgery Lab allowed us not only to put our surgical skills to the test, but also to work as a team with other students during a challenging procedure: even though we had little time to practice with respect to our American counterparts, all of us were successful in carrying out our respective duties as surgeons, anaesthesiologists or assistants and we received praise for our performance. We were also able to acquire useful knowledge about laboratory animal care and use, of particular interest to those of us that are currently contemplating a career in research.>>
