Anatomy Workshop

August 3, 4 & 5
Afternoon Workshop
1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
$85

Details: This workshop is structured to introduce the basic concepts of anatomy, and is designed for incoming students with little or no previous cadaver-based anatomical experiences. Students will participate in discussions with faculty and former anatomy students on the “best approach” to study anatomy, learn anatomical terminology, and experience a sample exam that models the presentation of difficult anatomical concepts. Students will begin to discover the organ systems through the study of skeletal material and previously dissected human organs, and whole cadavers. The workshop will include time in the gross anatomy laboratory studying human cadavers, and will emphasize laboratory safety as well as lab study strategies. The Anatomy workshop takes a unique inter-professional approach to the curriculum and the lab experiences.

It facilitates students to study how our systems are integrated to regulate homeostasis under physiological states. Students are expected to understand basic concepts and terminologies of cardiovascular function, respiratory physiology, renal function, digestive physiology, and skeletal muscle physiology, and neuro-humoral control of functions of those systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is there a limit to how many students can register for the workshop? If I don’t register right away, will I still get a spot?

Payment and registration must be complete by July 24th at 5 pm. We encourage you to register and pay as soon as you can to secure a place in a workshop.

    No. This workshop is designed and taught by current students to help incoming students get ahead.
  • May I receive a refund if I do not attend the workshop?
    Due to the limited size of the workshops, refunds will only be granted to those who withdraw their acceptance from UNTHSC and are attending another school.
