Not true. But since these are all medical schools majority of cadaveric dissections are carried out in these schools.

I remember reading a thread about an optometry student rambling about how he/she will not dissect cadavers. (he/she was disappointed) ROFL

if its not true then who else dissects other than these schools?

Physical anthropologists dissect human cadavers in PhD programs (I would assume in MA programs as well). They also dissect various prosimians, old world and new world monkeys, lesser apes, and greater apes (comparative primate anatomy)! I wish I could do that on the side here at pod school!

If anthropologists do it, I can say with certainty that various biological science disciplines will dissect human cadavers as well...

Some dental students do. My cousin at Univ. of Oklahoma is doing it right now.

o true forgot about dental schools..... so not all of them?

Chiropractic schools do too.

I know PT programs and a few undergraduate institutions that dissect cadavers (they were in pretty large groups like 10).

Temple Med gets 1/2 of a body and the PT students get the other 1/2. They dissect on alternate days.

We dissected a cadaver in undergrad in our human anatomy class.

How about graduate schools like neuroscience, physiology ect...?

They do too, unless the biomedical graduate programs lack the resources and/or cannot afford a cadaver or one isn't required.

Are you talkin Temple med/PT or Temple pod-med/PT? I am going to TUSPM in the fall and I am interested.

thanks.

We had dissected cadavers in my gross anatomy lab during undergrad. This was for an athletic training program.
