Located on the sixth floor of Evans Hall, PCOM's Anatomy Laboratory can accommodate an entire class of students (250-260). The teaching lab is geared toward small-group learning, with approximately five students per cadaver. The lab features a central stage and computerized and digitalized monitors every three tables to show the dissections. Online tutorials for clinical case studies are also available to students in the lab as is a display room with plastinated anatomical specimens.

Notable Facts
Tage Kvist, PhD, professor and chair, anatomy, was among the earliest educators to begin plastinating biological specimens for teaching purposes, and for more than a decade, PCOM students have been the beneficiaries of his work. PCOM is among a small number of medical colleges that plastinate specimens; additional specimens are obtained from the University of Pennsylvania and the Franklin Institute.
