The program offers a unique opportunity for high school students to engage with real human anatomical specimens and cadavers, providing an authentic exposure to medical anatomy and surgical practice.
The Clinical Anatomy Summer Program (CASP) at Stanford University offers high school students an immersive, in-person introduction to human anatomy and related health professions. The program focuses on the anatomy of the human body and its clinical applications, providing an authentic exposure to medical anatomy and surgical practice. Students will attend lectures on human anatomy presented by Stanford Medicine faculty, participate in hands-on anatomy lab activities, and observe surgical demonstrations. The curriculum also includes surgical skills workshops where students can practice dissection and suturing techniques on animal tissue. Throughout the week, anatomical instruction and surgical demonstrations utilize real human anatomical specimens and cadavers. Students will also meet Stanford faculty guest speakers who introduce various medical and health-related careers, such as medicine, surgery, dentistry, nursing, biomedical engineering, EMT/paramedics, and physical therapy. The program aims to introduce motivated high school students to a multitude of anatomy topics and is ideal for those considering higher education in medicine, bioengineering, or related fields in healthcare.
Students begin each day with an anatomy lecture from Clinical Anatomy faculty. After lunch, activities vary from campus tours, lab visits, learning from guest speakers, and participating in hands-on activities such as dissection, suturing, and instrument handling.
This program is best for motivated high school students considering higher education in medicine, bioengineering, or related fields in healthcare.
