The UD Department of Physical Therapy is offering two summer anatomy review sessions held in the UD Human Anatomy Lab. The session on July 16 will focus on the anatomy of the upper extremity, and the session on July 30 will focus on the anatomy of the lower extremity.
Your exploration will be guided by first year DPT students who performed the dissections as part of their summer anatomy course. Course faculty will participate and oversee the learning experience. Due to the hands-on nature of this event, there are a limited number of seats which will fill on a first-come, first-served basis.
