TULSA, Okla. — The Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences held an Anatomage Tournament, where students tested their anatomical knowledge using 3D anatomy tables and virtual dissection tools.
The competition was one of only two tournaments held in Oklahoma for high school students.
Our news partners at FOX23 spoke Allie McDonald, marketing and events lead at Anatomage, on what the virtual tools are used for.
“These are our 3D digital cadaver tables. They basically have a 3D rendering of real people, so it provides 100 percent accurate anatomy information,” said McDonald.
Throughout the day, students also attended educational workshops and completed hands-on activities.
She said the tools are used in multiple learning settings, from middle school classrooms to clinical studies.
The competition was held at the A.R. and Marylouise Tandy Medical Academic Building on OSU-CHS’ campus.
“It’s a really exciting event, the students really love it and it’s a great way to get local communities involved and connected with some bigger schools around here like OSU,” said McDonald.
The top four teams in the tournament will now move on to the national Anatomage Tournament to compete for a grand prize of $10,000.
