In the anatomy labs at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, you will find a traditional approach to teaching, which leverages new technology to provide in-depth knowledge. [Text on screen: 43,500 square feet Six dissection rooms Accommodates over 300 human body donors] Narrator: The anatomy wing at Hamilton Hall is expansive, with nearly 43,500 square feet, six dissection rooms and space for more than 300 donors. Each table is equipped with surgical lighting and a station for iPads, notes or other items to help with learning. Knowing that no two humans are the same, Ohio State's curriculum relies on donors to help teach learners and physicians the intricacies of the body. Where technology comes into play is the advanced ability to share knowledge quickly and across the whole classroom. [Text on screen: Each room has six smart TVs streaming visuals to all students.] Narrator: Each room is equipped with six smart TVs that can connect with iPads and stream visuals to all students. [Text on screen: Melissa Quinn, PhD Assistant Professor, Anatomy The Ohio State University] Melissa Quinn, PhD: “If we have one donor in there that might have one anatomical variation or clinical pathology, we're able to go and stream that live onto our TVs in the lab so that everybody can see what's happening in that donor. The other example we have is that our medical lab space is connected to our continuing medical education lab, and we're able to connect those preclinical students over to those practicing physicians to be able to see, ‘Here's what it means to go and transplant a kidney. Let me take you through those steps.’” Narrator: Sharing and collaboration is ingrained in the educational experience at Ohio State. [Text on screen: 200+ medical students 110 dental students 92 physical and occupational therapy students 1,800 undergraduate students] Narrator: Dentistry students will learn alongside medical students and partner on the dissection, fostering early interprofessional experiences. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and athletic training students have classes in the anatomy labs, as well as more than 1,800 undergraduate students who will eventually enroll in nursing, pharmacy and other health science programs. Melissa Quinn, PhD: “When students enroll here as an undergrad, they have the opportunity to come and work in our lab to learn from our human body donors. And those teachers get to show them that the body is unique, there's a lot of intricacies associated with it and it can be hands-on. But besides that, they get to learn so much more, including empathy, right? This is their first patient. They can work with that. And we've seen that those students become better prepared, not just as learners, but as human beings. What they've done here allows them to move forward and become that best practicing physician or healthcare worker out there.” Ohio State provides a full spectrum of learning opportunities in the anatomy labs starting as early as high school with students enrolled in summer camps, to undergraduate, graduate and professional students, to residency and fellowship and continuing medical education. All in all, more than 2,500 students and learners will use the anatomy lab in any given year. Learning doesn’t stop in the lab. All medical students have access to a virtual reality program on their iPads that they can access from anywhere. In addition, a virtual reality experience is set up in the Health Science Library. So at any time, upper-level medical students or physicians can revisit anatomy education in a virtual setting. Melissa Quinn, PhD: “At Ohio State, we really like to integrate traditional with innovative technologies. We understand that the traditional will always be the No. 1 source but that technology is there as an adjunct to what teaching is happening in the lab space, to allow you to jump into smaller spaces or go into a heart that you can’t do in the lab space itself.” The Ohio State University College of Medicine continues to strive to raise the bar in medical education to thoroughly prepare students to meet the challenges of the continually evolving field of medicine.
