摘要

This commentary on a case considers whether and how to help alleviate pressure on health professions students and trainees when programs endorse norms about nonhuman animal use that are ethically objectionable to some students and trainees. By explicitly asking students to decide whether to train using nonhuman animals instead of assuming as a default that they would be willing to do so, health professions educators nourish learning environments in which those who wish to opt out of nonhuman animal use do not have to overcome a de facto expectation of compliance. Offering curricular alternatives to nonhuman animal-based training not only supports diverse ethical perspectives but fosters a culture of respect and understanding among trainees.
