“This course is a must for any experienced clinician. The opportunity to go back [to study anatomy] after years of practicing makes it a brand new experience that will improve your practice and confirm your interventions.” – 2019 course participant
"All 3 instructors were beyond helpful. They provided a positive environment for learning and made the environment easy for asking questions. I was incredibly impressed with how many cadavers there were to study on and the autonomy each instructor provided based on the questions or curiosities of each individual.” - 2025 course participant
Objectives
This is a two-day, primarily laboratory-based course that also includes didactic content focused on clinical correlates of the relevant anatomy of the lower limb and pelvis. A minimum of three-quarters of the contact time will be spent in the gross anatomy laboratory.
16 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be awarded.
Audience
The course is designed for clinicians/educators with an overall course objective to review clinically relevant anatomy through a cadaver-based experience.
During this course the participants will:
- Participate in dissection of regional anatomy of the lower extremity and pelvis.
- Review clinically relevant anatomy of the lower extremity including joints and associated structures, musculature, and neurovasculature on prosected specimens.
- Review clinically relevant anatomy of the pelvis and associated structures, musculature, viscera, and neurovasculature on prosected specimens.
- Apply regional anatomy to select clinical correlates through facilitated group discussion.
Space is limited. Registrants will be contacted approximately three weeks prior to the course with additional information, but please contact Laura Thorp, the course director with any questions.
