Wichita State’s College of Health Professions has launched a new certificate of human anatomy. The certificate provides a comprehensive education in human anatomy, progressing from foundational knowledge to clinical-level expertise.
Students will engage with high-tech simulation technology, anatomical models and real human cadavers, which are vital tools for deepening their understanding of human anatomy. Courses will be taught in the College of Health Professions’ state-of-the-art Gross Anatomy and Human Simulation laboratories. The Gross Anatomy Lab contains 12 human cadavers, giving students critical hands-on experience working with actual human organs and structures. The Human Simulation lab features two ultra-high-fidelity anatomical manikins that are made entirely out of silicone and a cardiopulmonary patient simulation manikin that presents symptoms of over 50 cardiopulmonary conditions. These unique hands-on educational opportunities ensure that students gain the practical knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to succeed in health care.
The certificate is particularly beneficial for individuals interested in learning in depth about human anatomy or those planning to apply to a health care-specific graduate program. It also serves as a valuable credential for anyone seeking to enhance their qualifications in the field of health care.
Classes begin in spring 2025, and enrollment is currently open.
