Anatomy

We designed a 15-20 minute small-group, interactive exercise to integrate patient-centered clinical skills with the anatomy class’ unveiling of the cadaver, the students' "first patient." Anatomy cadavers typically range in age from 60-100 years.  Thus, they present an excellent opportunity to introduce students to normal age related changes and common age associated conditions. The documents listed below describe the exercise and can be used to develop a similar activity at your institution.
