Clinical Training

Drexel University offers state-of-the-art lab and learning resource facilities designed to support human anatomy education at all levels. These modern, fully equipped spaces are also well-suited for a range of activities, including surgical skills training, research and development, and laboratory practice. Emphasizing the integration of cadaveric specimens and advanced medical visualization technologies to create an optimal environment for clinical practice, we welcome visiting hospitals and healthcare professionals to refine their clinical techniques here.

College of Medicine

Point of Care Ultrasound- The Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) program at Drexel University College of Medicine allows medical students to develop and refine their ultrasound skills. The program is primarily designed for first-year medical students (M1) as part of the Gross Anatomy curriculum. Each session is dedicated to a specific anatomical region—such as the extremities, head and neck, cardiac structures, and the biliary system—and is led by faculty and physicians with specialized ultrasound training. The objectives of these sessions include mastering proper probe techniques, accurately identifying normal anatomical structures, and effectively performing POCUS-guided procedures.

Crozer Emergency Room Resident's Training- Drexel University College of Medicine is proud to host Emergency Room residents from Crozer Chester Medical Center for annual clinical training in our anatomy lab. This program enables residents to enhance their skills by practicing life-saving procedures and emergency ultrasound techniques under the expert guidance of Emergency Medicine physicians.

College of Nursing and Health Professions

Collaborative continuing education courses offered by the anatomy faculty from Doctor of Physical Therapy programs in the Philadelphia area.
