Gross Anatomy Cadaver Dissection: Multi-System 2025

Gross Anatomy Cadaver Dissection: Multi-System 2025 is organized by The Jones Institute and will be held from May 05 - 09, 2025 at Biomedical Sciences Building, La Jolla, California, United States of America.

Description:
This 5-day course is designed to provide a post graduate opportunity to dissect, identify, and study the gross anatomy of the human body. Dissections will cover the musculoskeletal system including the muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and bones, the nervous systems including all structures of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, the arterial system, the venous and lymphatic system, and the visceral system.

This course offers a thorough education in gross anatomy as well as a thorough introduction into principles and concepts of applied anatomy.

Lecture time is spent covering the appropriate anatomical structures and introducing the dissection procedures, while extensive lab time is spent performing dissections on, and studying the cadavers. Emphasis is placed on developing understanding of anatomical pathways and connections and becoming familiar with various regions of the body’s neural innervation, blood supply, and drainage.

Upon completion of the course, participants will have dissected and identified over 1000 anatomical structures, while also understanding their general function, clinical relevance, and role in the pathological process, healing, and wellness.

What We Offer:

• Untouched, untreated (fresh) cadavers
• Students perform 100% of the dissections themselves
• Low student to cadaver ratio of 4-6
• Multiple cadavers to learn from
• Experienced dissectors to expedite your learning experience
• Spend your weekend before or after (recommended) in beautiful La Jolla, CA!
• Supplemental pathophysiology content

Course Outline:

• Anatomical structures: All systems
• Applied anatomy
• Clinical Relevance of anatomy
• Function of anatomical structures
• Organs and organ function
• Phases of healing
• Pathological Process
• Role of fascia
• Dissection procedures
• Dissection skills

Goals/Objectives:

• Dissect and identify all relevant anatomical structures, organs, and glands
• Understand the function of all anatomical structures, organs, and glands
• Understand the anatomical pathways and connections through the various systems
• Develop dissection skills and a level of comfort with dissection tools
• Increase the knowledge base of students, making the studied structures clinically applicable
