DMU anatomy lab?

I was wondering what the anatomy lab at DMU was like? As you may be aware, they do not show the anatomy lab during the interview day as respect to the people who donated their bodies. I understand that they recently upgraded the lab during the summer (with large plasma screens over each cadaver,etc). Can anyone comment on this?

Thanks!

I know a student at DMU so when I was there the day before the interview my friend showed me the lab. It is brand new, I'm not sure it is even a year old. There are flat screen tv's at the stations. If you have seen Scholl's, it is exactly the same thing except everything is brand spanking new.

What are the flat screen TVs used for? Is it so you don't have to have anybooks there and can reference off of that?

we still bring books and dissectors to lab, however the professors can demonstrate dissections on the TVs. theyre used as visual aids

That's pretty much it. I know at Scholl they have recorded dissections that you can refer back to and watch and use as an aid. I think they are nice but aren't a big deal when deciding between schools. Anatomy is anatomy.

Yeah, I see how it can be a help. But after time I really didn't even use the dissector as much in the end as the beginning of the class because once you acquire good skills, you can figure a lot of it out if you know where stuff should be. Don't need to always be told to scissor spread or use blunt dissection after doing it for a while. I used the dissector only for the hard disections unless the instructor wanted us to do it a different way which happend time to time. When it comes down to it, knowing the relationships of all the structures is the most important because sometimes an artery can look like a nerve but if you know the relationships, then you know what it is you are looking at and why.
