Delivering High-Tech Health Sciences Learning

This virtual dissection table displays the life-size three-dimensional image of a cadaver—in this case, the body of a 38-year-old man who donated his body for medical research. The detailed cadaver was recreated in vivid color based on actual  body scans and loaded into the 6-foot-long touch-screen table.

Students in Rutgers Physician Assistant program examine a new virtual cadaver

Health science students at the School of Health Professions can now examine layers of the cadaver by swiping the screen, revealing organs, muscles, veins, and the skeleton. With a virtual scalpel, they can even make incisions. Learn more.
