    What is the duration of the Anatomy Academy?

    The Anatomy Academy is a 10-day (weekdays: Wed., June 18th thru Thu., July 3rd, except Juneteenth, Thu., June 19th) enrichment experience whose daily schedule is:

    • Didactic Review:    9:30a - 12:00p

    • Lab Activities:       1:30p -   4:00p

    What are the benefits of participating in the program?

    After completing the 10-day academy, students will have had  solid learning experiences in basic neuromusculoskeletal human anatomy & physiology, as well as with basic directional terms and frequently used medical terminology prefixes and suffixes.

    This learning experience aims to increase the level of confidence with learning, time management, and focus will help ensure success in biologic science and other high school and higher education core courses.

    It is anticipated, thereafter, that an enrollee's post-baccalaureate application to an accredited Allied Health professional program of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, or Athletic Training will be competitive and successful for admission to their chosen professional graduate school.
