Animal rights group calls on San Antonio's BAMC to stop killing pigs to train military doctors
An animal-rights group comprised of medical professionals is calling on San Antonio's Brooke Army Medical Center to end the use of live pigs in its emergency medicine residency program. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine sent a letter to BAMC on Memorial Day, calling on leaders there to change a long-standing practice of having emergency medicine residents use live pigs to practice 46 invasive procedures in an "emergency skills" course.
