Anatomy Laboratories

The traditional study of human anatomy by dissection takes place in the Gross Anatomy Lab (“Gross” is the German word for large, referring to anatomy that does not need a microscope to be seen).

  • Twenty-six clamshell dissection tables with downdraft ventilation and
    • Two surgical lights at each station
    • Mounted HD video camera at each station
    • Mac Mini with large HD display at each station

Other laboratory features:

  • Eleven ceiling mounted PTZ cameras
  • Integrated audio system
  • Multiple atlases and online tools

  • Distance learning capable
  • User friendly teaching station
