Anatomy Trains is committed to providing the dissection experience in a variety of forms and venues.  Some classes are observation only; in some you perform the dissection yourself under professional guidance. We work with untreated cadavers for “fresh tissue” dissections.

Yes, we will teach you how to use the equipment and how to proceed in your dissection. Everyone gets better with experience, and there’s no better way to learn than to do it.

We all have those feelings, but usually they last about 10 minutes before fascination takes over. Dissecting a cadaver can be an emotional experience, for sure, and these emotions are respected and honored in our classes. The ‘donors’ have given their bodies that you might learn – we honor that gift by learning as much as we can – respectfully, and all the way from skin to bone.

Class size depends on the lab size. There are 6-8 people per cadaver, which is very comfortable. Students can work on their own project or collaborate with others on a group project – like dissecting out one of the Anatomy Trains lines.

Absolutely – anyone who works with the body in any capacity will benefit.
