The Full Story
About
The human body is a priceless gift... and a priceless teacher.
At the Institute for Anatomical Research, we view each human body as a unique gift that deepens our understanding of anatomy and human connection. By studying directly in the cadaver lab, we go beyond traditional textbooks to explore the true diversity of the human form. Our approach emphasizes both the physical continuities within the body and the broader interdependence we share as a community. In a learning environment built on respect, safety, and creativity, we honor our donors as invaluable teachers and encourage curiosity, inclusivity, and compassion in every aspect of our work.
The Lab
Our Institute offers a bright, welcoming laboratory designed to support meaningful exploration and discovery. The lab has high ceilings and natural lighting and accommodates multiple tables for study. It is fully equipped thus is able to provide full exploration of our donor forms. Alongside the lab, we provide a dedicated classroom space that fosters discussion, reflection, and integration of the learning that takes place at the dissection tables. Whether you are new to dissection or continuing your studies, our experienced and supportive staff are here to guide you with care, ensuring a safe, engaging, and enriching experience.
