The Operation Game 2.0
This fall, learning in several health, science, and anatomy-related courses will take on a new look.
Thanks to strategic planning by the Martin County Schools Career and Technical Education department, the learning that once came only from books and roll-around skeletons will be brought to students by the Anatomage table.
“We are excited to make this amazing learning tool available to our Health Science 1 and 2 classes, Nursing Fundamentals, and Biomedical Technology classes,” explained Jason Wynne, CTE Director for Martin County Schools. There are also opportunities to utilize the table in Animal Science and Vet Tech courses.
The operating-bed-sized table provides a highly accurate, three-dimensional, and high-resolution view of anatomical structures. During a demonstration earlier this week, students saw the depth and detail the table brings.
"The Anatomage Table bridges the gap between textbook learning and real-world application, preparing our students for future careers in healthcare with cutting-edge technology right here in our classroom,” explained Rebecca Revels, Health Science instructor. “Students in Health Science will have increased opportunities for engaged learning and are excited to get started.”
Veteran Nursing Fundamentals teacher and registered nurse Vinya Ward states, “The Anatomage Table will offer students in all areas of our Health Science program an incredible opportunity to virtually study human anatomy content being taught in the classroom. This will allow students to become more engaged and interactive by seeing organs in 3-D and have the opportunity to dissect nine different cadavers.”
Training is being scheduled for instructors who will utilize the table. When school opens in the fall, the Career and Technical Education team plans to use the Anatomage Table in several CTE classes.
Providing next-level learning to ensure future-ready students is another way Martin Offers More.
