Ptstudent2 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Hey everyone, Does anyone know which PT schools in Ontario use cadaver/dissection labs to teach anatomy? I know u of t and western do, but does anyone know about Mac or Queen's? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWUQ Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I think Mac likely does since I did my undergrad in Kinesiology at Mac and we had cadaver labs for our anatomy course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoopityBoop Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 What I think you are referring to are "prosections". Prosections are preserved body parts of a cadaver that have been dissected with care for the purposes of anatomy education. Yes Mac has a lot of prosections! And PT and MD students have access badges allowing them to use the anatomy lab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some experience dissecting human donors and have found it very helpful, so I was wondering which schools utilize this teaching method. I know U of T does this.

Mac has an extracurricular Interprofessional Educational (IPE) cadaver-dissection course you can sign up for. It's quite cool - it allows you to do a complete full-body dissection (skin to bone) with other first year students in nursing, in OT, in PA, in midwifery, and in MD. People from each program are chosen based on a lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPT2019 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 We have cadaver labs here at Queen's for our anatomy course as well as the neuro course we are doing at the moment. No dissections, however we utilize the lab in the Med building and it is an excellent experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopplah Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I know you asked about Ontario schools, but for anyone else reading who is interested about Dalhousie - PT (and OT) do dissection based anatomy. PT and OTs do the same anatomy class, and you work in groups of 5-6 (mixed PT/OT groups) per cadaver throughout the semester. There are also prosections available for studying too. Always interesting to hear how other schools teach it! I think the IPE way Mac does it sounds interesting. I had some classmates who absolutely couldn't stomach the dissection aspect and just studied off of prosections! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pt247 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 UofT PT has a 6 month long dissection lab where you and 3 other students are assigned and dissect a human donor. There are also hundreds of prosected specimens to view and are made available. This a mandatory part of the anatomy course and ends in 2 separate bell ringer exams. I found this extremely helpful in my physio practice and feel very privileged to have been able to work with donors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulPT95 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Can confirm Western PT has the exact same set up as UofT for cadaveric dissections and that I also thought it was an extremely helpful way to learn anatomy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
