Advanced Anatomy Laboratory

Image of the lab.

The Advanced Anatomy Laboratory for research, education, and clinical skills was established in 2008 with the goal of improving patient care by providing healthcare professionals with an environment to review and explore anatomy pertinent to their particular discipline.

These advanced anatomical studies allow healthcare professionals to practice clinical skills on human donors in a relaxed, low-risk setting before interacting with a live patient. Healthcare providers using the laboratory are encouraged to question, explore, and think creatively about how they approach a task.

Purpose
  • Review relevant anatomy
  • Pursue advanced anatomical study
  • Practice and improve clinical skills
  • Rehearse surgeries
  • Explore developing new medical procedures and instruments
  • Create and evaluate innovative teaching methods
Equipment

The lab has four surgical stations each equipped with a radiolucent surgical table, a single head Polaris surgical light, suction, 65 psi compressed air port, four 120-volt electrical outlets and one 220-volt electrical outlet.

Location

The 33’x27’ laboratory is located in room 2018 Wittson Hall, and is managed by the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology and Anatomy at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Please direct lab inquiries to Jesse Boyd at 402-559-6109.
