Abstract: A live animal training program is offered to medical students seeking more advanced surgical education. This program requires active participation in all aspects, from planning to implementation.　The program provides medical students with a valuable opportunity to develop their interest in surgical care and to acquire advanced surgical techniques through a step-by-step approach. Additionally, they have the chance to develop various types of non-technical skills by assuming different roles within a team. Instructors offer support for their learning.　Peer learning allows medical students to learn from and discuss with each other, enabling them to acquire a broad range of knowledge and skills. Simultaneously, students are expected to understand the importance of a team approach by participating in this program from the perspectives of various medical professions. Moreover, the program contributes to the formation of their professional identity.
