My Project

This project is building off of the already amazing donations we have received. This is a new program and we are starting from scratch. Everyone (for the most part) goes to the doctor. Whether it is for sickness or general care, you will come into contact with medical assistants. These are the women or men taking your vital signs, weight, height, and so much more at the beginning of your visit.

My goal is to bring up the next generation in healthcare, teaching them the best and effective ways to promote the highest degree of patient care.

With your help, I will be able to provide these students with effective and updated materials to help them learn just that.

How can medical students learn anatomy with out an actual skeleton? The skeleton model will be used by students to visually study the bone structure, identify individual bones and their articulations (joints), understand the overall skeletal framework of the body, and gain a foundational understanding of how muscles attach to bones. The organ and heart models will allow students hands-on access to tissues that feel real. This hands-on experience will also help them feel comfortable with the most detailed experiences in studying human anatomy.

Thank you for donating to our project.
