The new Anatomy Laboratory, which provides an enhanced, computer-assisted environment for educating Mayo Clinic students, opened Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2000. The lab, located on the ninth floor of the new Stabile Building on Mayo s downtown campus, will be used to teach human anatomy to the students of Mayo Medical School and the Mayo School of Health-Related Science s Physical Therapy Program.
Human anatomy is a foundational course for many healthcare professionals.
The new laboratory provides better organized space than the previous lab and enhanced technology capabilities, with computers and data ports located at each of the 12 workstations. In the lab, students perform dissections as an important part of their anatomy training. The lab is adjacent to the Distance Learning Classroom, which offers direct Web access and teleconferencing capabilities, as well as to the new Procedural Skills Lab. The Anatomy Laboratory shares the Stabile Building s ninth floor with the Autopsy Service.
