The use of virtual platforms, such as the Anatomage Table, provide the student with novel perspectives on structure and function, and clinical and comparative anatomy. However, amidst medicine's dazzling array of technology, nothing equals the human body itself in providing health-professions students with a foundation of applied anatomical understanding that will serve them throughout their clinical careers. “The cadaver-experience affords an unequaled opportunity to not only master the identification of structure, but also apprehend the variation in texture, shape, and positional relationships of organs and tissues within the human body,” explains Dr. Jeff Meldrum, professor of anatomy.
The ISU Pocatello campus anatomy suite in the Department of Biological Sciences, recently received an extensive remodel and upgrade to better service the expanding allied-health programs. Included are a walk-in cold room for the storage of donors and prosected specimens; a prep room for the staging of laboratory supplies; an extensive model and skeletal collection; an archive of radiographic films, CT and MRIs; and a computer bench for coordinating audio-visual teaching materials. As the designated state institution for health-professions education and training, ISU’s footprint spans the state with the addition of the ISU-Meridian Health Sciences Center and its own state-of-the-art anatomy facilities.
