Designed for 11th and 12th grade students pursuing an interest in healthcare or health science fields.

Participants should demonstrate a strong interest in anatomy topics. Under the direction of Drs. Kathryn Veazey, Bill Frank and Dana Peterson, participants will learn the fundamental concepts of gross anatomy and basic dissection techniques in a state-of-the-art cadaveric laboratory. By participating in Anatomy Discovery at Drexel, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Immerse themselves in the anatomy of the human body, from head to toe
• Practice human dissection to gain an appreciation of the variability and complexity of the human form
• Apply anatomical concepts to synthesize 2D, 3D and clinical imaging

At the end of the program, participants will earn a certificate of completion.
