Recently, Andrea Keene’s anatomy students had the opportunity to take a field trip to St. Louis University. The topic of the day was the cardiovascular system. Students were able to sit in on a lecture and participate in a question and answer session. After an hour of discussion, all students took part in a lab where they dissected a pig heart.
For some students, this was their first opportunity to be an active part of a dissection.
“This enables students to hear a different perspective of the
body, to see how the components of different animals resemble their own and have the chance to dissect to a clear and orderly fashion,” said Andrea Keene, faculty member.
Field trips such as this help to give students the self-confidence (and interest) that they can be successful and achieve their full potential.
