You’re encouraged to extend your stay before or after the course to enjoy everything La Jolla has to offer! What safety precautions will be in place for covid? UCSD is located in the heart of the renowned La Jolla neighborhood just steps from the beach. Where are the courses located?īoth Anatomy Dissection courses will be held in San Diego, California, at the UCSD School of Medicine. The multi-system course is recommended for any licensed clinician who wants to better understand anatomy as a whole whereas the 2-day pelvic floor course is recommended for pelvic floor specialists, those who regularly treat pelvic floor dysfunctions, or those interested in the pelvic region’s role in micturition, defecation, and sexual function. We have two options available: a complete 8-day Multi-System Anatomy Dissection course and a 2-day Pelvic Floor Dissection course. Which Anatomy Dissection course is best for me? Unlike the embalmed cadavers used in PT schools, untreated cadavers provide better opportunities to experience the fascial connectedness of tissue through numerous anatomical systems. Although embalming preserves cadavers it also hardens them, rendering the tissue less lifelike. Our cadavers will be fresh and untreated to allow for the most realistic experience possible. If you become uncomfortable at any point during the course, we encourage you to talk to an instructor on site. Prior to the start of the course, we’ll provide you with all the information you need to prepare for dissection. What if I get too nervous before or during the dissection?Ĭadaver dissection is a humbling, sometimes emotional experience. You will perform 100% of dissections under the supervision and direction of instructors Eryn Milian and Kyle Kusunose. Will the dissections be observational or hands-on? In addition to being the Anatomy Dissection course developer and instructor, Kyle currently lends his expertise to the Doctor of Physical Therapy programs at both San Diego State University and the University of Miami. Since joining the University of Miami’s faculty in 2013, Eryn has expanded her role as assistant professor to become a course master for neuroanatomy and instructor for both pelvic anatomy and the university’s orthopedic, sport, and neuroscience residency programs. Your Anatomy Dissection instructors are Eryn Milian, PT, DPT, PhD, and Kyle Kusunose, PT, DPT, JSCCI. By the end of the course, you will have dissected and identified over 1,000 anatomical structures and gained an understanding of their general function, clinical relevance, and role in the pathological process, healing, and wellness. Dissections will cover the musculoskeletal system including the muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and bones, the nervous systems including all structures of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, the arterial system, the venous and lymphatic system, and the visceral system.Īnatomy Dissection offers a thorough education in gross anatomy and introduction to the principles and concepts of applied anatomy. This 8-day course provides a post-graduate opportunity to dissect, identify, and study the gross anatomy of the human body.
