Dr. Wise's Take
Most veterinarians agree they would have benefited from additional surgical instruction and experience during vet school.  And many would also agree that live surgery labs that ultimately ended with euthanasia was probably not their favorite experience.  SynDaver is hoping to change that with its freakishly realistic synthetic canine cadaver and a crowdfunding effort to provide 20 models to every accredited veterinary school.
