HOURS OF CADAVER DISSECTION( DC and ND students)
“ NUHS was the first chiropractic institution to teach anatomy via cadaveric dissection and has always taken pride in teaching anatomy at a very high level.”
Gregory D. Cramer, DC’ 77, PhD Professor and Dean of Research
“ To this day in my clinical practice, I still close my eyes and flashback to the cadaver lab to understand the anatomy of an area that I am working on.”
Kris Tohtz, DC’ 01, MSAc’ 14 Serenity Family Wellness, West Palm Beach, Fla.
“ This hands-on experience, feeling the texture of the lungs and observing the effects of smoking, or examining the heart to understand cardiomyopathies, is unmatched in its educational value.”
Sonia Joubert DC, MS’ 14, ND’ 22 Associate Professor, Clinical Practice and DC Clinician
“ NUHS is one of the very few schools with an in-house cadaver lab. Our acupuncture students can see the exact location of needle penetration, which is immensely important to avoid blood vessels, nerves and internal organs. This builds confidence in needling, and the ability to locate trigger points for better therapeutic outcomes.”
Hyundo Kim, PhD, MSOM, LAc Assistant Dean, Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine
