AI-generated Abstract:

The study investigates undergraduate students' perceptions regarding the use of animals in practical classes for pharmacy and dentistry at a university. It highlights a growing trend towards alternative teaching methods that respect animal welfare and ethical considerations. While some students favor traditional methods involving live animals, a significant number advocate for the integration of bioethics into their curriculum and the adoption of alternative educational strategies.
