Why aren’t Americans getting healthier?

Why is medical research still relying on status quo policies and practices that harm both people and animals?

In this 20-minute webinar, PZI President Dr. Hope Ferdowsian outlines the importance of transforming medical research so that it centers an ethical, innovative, human-centered research framework.

Dr. Ferdowsian discusses

• The lack of focus on (primary) prevention
• The fact that government spending doesn’t reflect research needs
• The problematic reliance on using animals in research
• The hierarchy of evidence in medicine that most physicians use when deciding how best to treat their patients
• The reasons that using animals in experiments fails
• The shift to evidence-based toxicology and new approach methods
• The importance of moving forward through values and science
