FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The University of Saint Francis will receive a grant from Parkview Physicians Group to purchase and install an Anatomage Table in the Achatz Hall of Science and John and Toni Murray Research Center.
The Anatomage Table is a virtual cadaver that will allow USF students to visualize and dissect skeletal tissues, muscles and organs by virtual slicing and segmenting the anatomy.
“Through this interactive 3D virtual anatomy dissection table, students will build a diverse skill set by developing familiarity with common radiographic studies of CT and MRI images and by engaging with over 600 case studies and pathologies,” said Dr. Andrea Geyer, dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences. “This 3D anatomy visualization center will serve as an excellent complement to USF’s four-table cadaver lab as it will be used in a significant number of courses in the sciences, along with more than 24 School of Health Sciences courses.”
The grant continues a strong relationship between USF and Parkview Physicians Group.
“Parkview Physicians Group is happy to support University of Saint Francis’ vision of becoming a premier center for excellence and innovation in healthcare education,” said Dr. Mitch Stucky, President, Parkview Physicians Group. “The Anatomage Table will be an excellent addition to their program by offering advanced technology that will improve the educational experience of their healthcare students.”
For more information, contact Dr. Andrea Geyer, dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, at 260-399-7700, ext. 8225, or email ageyer@sf.edu.
