ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ students pursuing careers in the sciences, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and Nursing will have access to a high-tech, β€œAnatomage Table,” a fully segmented and realistic 3D anatomy system.

Life Sciences Instructor Dr. Oleg Ravitskiy said the table will teach students about human anatomy in a revolutionary way.

β€œIt’s truly amazing technology,” he said. β€œStructures are reconstructed in accurate 3D, resulting in an unprecedented level of realistic anatomy, which is also dissectible in 3D. It allows for exploration and learning of human anatomy beyond what any cadaver could offer.”

Instructor of Mathematics Dr. Kristen Hathcock learned about the technology and brought the idea of purchasing it to the Department of Life Science in the spring of 2018. Dean of Academics Brian Howe greenlit the project and, Ravitskiy wrote a proposal to the ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ Foundation. Through a collaborative effort with Chief Information Officer Michelle Kaiser, the project became a reality and the table arrived on July 2.

ΜύRavitsky said the table will be an amazing tool for students who come to ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ to study Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Zoology, Biology, Animal Science or to specialize in EMS, Paramedic Training or Nursing.

β€œThis table will be a powerful and effective educational tool, which will enhance classroom learning at ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅,” he said. β€œIt will allow students to interact with young and well-preserved digital cadavers instead of aged and degenerated bodies. The accurate details and rich content will draw ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ students’ interest and attention leading to more effective educational outcomes.”ΜύΜύ

ΜύRavitsky said ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ is fortunate to have this equipment and is very thankful for all those involved in turning the dream of having one on-campus into a reality.

Μύβ€œThis greatly enhances our institutional standards,” he said. β€œΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ students, parents, alumni, or visitors will be impressed with the presence and visual impact of this table. This system will further solidify our institution as a technology leader in our community.”
