Westmont Students by Elephant Skeletons

Westmont College, located in Santa Barbara, California, collaborates with the University of Edinburgh’s Anatomy Department for an (almost) annual Anatomy Week. This immersive program provides Westmont students with hands-on anatomical studies, offering a unique transatlantic academic experience. During the Anatomy Week, students engage in detailed dissection sessions, guided by expert anatomists from the University of Edinburgh. This hands-on practice is complemented by seminars and lectures covering basic to advanced topics in human anatomy, integrating clinical and anatomical perspectives.

The partnership highlights the historical and educational significance of Edinburgh's Anatomy Department, known for its rich legacy in medical education and research. As always, Gregg and the group do an amazing job of fitting in all the sites (including sites of anatomical and medical significance which further contextualise their studies within the broader history of medicine).

Thanks again Westmont and see you again soon!
