A 3D printing lab and makerspace focused on creating anatomical models and learning tools for interactive classroom instruction.
We are on a mission to change how our students learn about anatomic pathology by using real CT and MRI images to create models to better teach our students.
On the right: Printed models of hypoplastic left heart syndrome and pulmonary atresia.
What We Do
We are creating a 3D printed library of anatomic models of pathology for our medical students.
We are creating opportunities for interdisciplinary learning by creating teams of medical and engineering students.
We are designing a model of osteology printing which will serve as an avenue for hands-on training for aspiring surgeons.
Our core belief is that opportunities abound to use novel technologies to engage students and facilitate learning.
Help us find new projects
We are always looking for a new challenge and new ways to use our MakerSpace. Send us an email of your idea at ciavanatomylab@gmail.com.
Anatomy should be VISUAL
At the CIAV we have to see it to believe it. We believe that visualization and tactile manipulation of pathological anatomic specimens is key to sustained knowledge acquisition.
Anatomy should be INSPIRING
The human body is awe-inspiring, diverse, and dynamic. Anatomy teaching should be the same, reaching beyond uniform, standard and normal models currently in use across the country.
Anatomy should be FUN
3D printing, VR and AR technologies are revolutionising how many Industries approach their work. We believe medical education should harness the power of these technologies to benefit the future doctors we teach.
