Anatomy Course

[gregoryhouse]

Hi everyone,

I have a research anatomy elective that I'm about to start next week that we are allowed to make up our own curriculum for. I was wondering if anyone could give me ideas I could use to do wet lab simulations. I won't have access to a real phaco machine but I am wondering if there are certain areas I could work on with the anatomy instructors such as learning to suture on pig eyes, etc.

If anyone has any recommendations, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

Suturing without someone to teach you suturing can get old fast. Also it's hard to practice Ophtho things without some dry lab or wet lab items. Some people say you can practice your rhexis on a grape tomato but I've never tried.

I might try and learn:

1) anatomy of the orbit and adnexa - all of it
2) anatomy of the face - all the nerves and bones and blood supply
3) relevant neuroanatomy and pathways for vision.

That should keep you busy
