A SMARTER WAY TO LEARN

Medical Anatomy and Pathology E-learning( MAPEL) Laboratory
The MAPEL Lab is an innovative teaching and learning facility designed by Monash to support collaborative learning in a technologically-enhanced environment. It hosts anatomy and pathology learning materials, and an extensive collection of specimens and models supported by interactive multimedia.
Your lecturers will use computerised teaching tools, models and human simulators. This includes multi-touch smart tables, automated and real-time assessment methods, and digital 3D visualisation images of human cadaveric anatomy and pathological specimens.
But not everything is virtual – you’ ll find plastinated specimens of resin-infused real human parts combined with real-life models, some of which have simulated breath or heart sounds, while injections can be administered or suturing performed in others.
Through these tools and simulated patients role-played by trained actors, you’ ll be able to practise your clinical skills in a controlled environment, even from your first year.
Monash Malaysia Educational Gamification and Immersive Learning Experience( MEGILE) Laboratory
This modern classroom offers an immersive learning experience with high-resolution augmented reality and virtual reality learning objects integrated with active learning tasks. You’ ll be able to manipuate, deconstruct and study 3D images of cadaveric / pathological content, exploring anatomical spaces such as the middle ear cavity in a virtual environment.
