Does your UG use human cadavers?
Started by CaliGirl14
Mine did
1 human cadaver for anatomy, and this was at a community college.

The most we ever had were human brains, but only reserved for the neuroscience majors

Mine did not. I wanted to make sure the med school I attended used cadavers, so I made sure to inquire about that. I was surprised to here some med schools don't.
Mine was associated with a medical school so we got to use the ones the medical students had used and also had several prosected cadavers. Pretty sweet setup!

My college offered an advanced anatomy lab at our local hospital that included a human cadaver. It was pretty neat, especially being taught by surgical residents.
2 Human cadavers that were dissected either on the dorsal or ventral side. And we have human brains for our neuroanatomy class too. Although in the past they have mainly been using sheep's brains.
We did at my tiny little CC. We are lucky enough to be close to a medical school that loaned us a prosected cadaver.
Our human anatomy lab at UC Berkeley had 2 human cadavers (1 male, 1 female), prosected, as well as organs/etc in buckets that we used as well.

Most undergraduate anatomy courses don't feature cadaver dissection. You are correct in that.
Mine happened to be able to via a physical therapy school.

Mine has 10 dissected cadavers with tons of iso-organs.
We hire the medical students to dissect the cadavers during the summer.
My undergrad had a pretty phenomenal anatomy program for undergraduate students.
The Pre-professional and Pre-nursing students took human anatomy which had several (like 40 or 50) prosected bodies that were used for weekly labs.
Then if you wanted you could take advanced anatomy which involved completing a dissection alone. Those were rotated into the regular human anatomy course as prosections.

We had actual human cadavers in my anatomy class, but didn't really study them too much. We also dissected frogs,cats,sheep brain,heart,kidney and cow eyeballs. Fun stuff, especially when my anatomy professor broke into the sclera of the cow eyeball while he was talking and the aqueous humor almost shot into his mouth. That was damn funny.
Interestingly my University does use human cadavers we had 12 tanks for about 20 students per section. The 300 level course learns off the dissected cadavers and the 400 level undergraduate course performs the dissections.
im jealous, just fetal pigs and cats👎thumbdown

My UGrad banned pre-meds/biology students from taking human anatomy (only one lower level course, "reserved" for pre-nursing)
They used cats and clay modeling.

We had 2 human cadavers to use. In Missouri there are only 2 colleges that I know of having cadavers so they aren't exactly common here, but I dk about other states
Yes. We have a med school and undergrad on our campus so after med students are done with a cadavar, undergrads get the left overs
