Students will perform a whole-body dissection that includes the musculo-skeletal and nervous tissues, vasculature, and viscera of body regions including: head, neck, torso, extremities, and body cavities.

How to Apply: Interested students will complete the application, and the selection will be made by the instructor. Once students have been selected, they will be sent the Student Agreement via Adobe Sign.
