Students in the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences have access to new interactive 3D virtual technology for learning human anatomy and physiology. Drake is one of the few institutions in Iowa to now have an Anatomage Table, the most technologically advanced 3D anatomy visualization and virtual dissection tool for anatomy and physiology education. The Anatomage Table has been shown to be an effective educational tool to allow students to interact with accurate, well-preserved cadavers in digital form.

The Anatomage Table is the only fully segmented real human 3D anatomy platform. Students visualize anatomy exactly as they would on a fresh cadaver with individual structures reconstructed in accurate, high-resolution 3D. The anatomy is presented as a fully interactive, life-sized touchscreen experience, in operatory bed form.

Faculty in the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences will begin integrating the use of the Anatomage Table into select courses in the spring of 2023, with full integration into courses in the fall of 2023.
