College of Western Idaho (CWI) and the Treasure Valley Anatomy & Physiology Lab at ISU Meridian (TVAPL) have partnered to offer an exceptional opportunity for CWI’s Anatomy & Physiology (AP) students to attend the cadaver lab inside TVAPL. CWI’s A&P students were able to attend a two-hour field trip inside the state-of-the-art facility to get hands-on experience and further their understanding of core relationships in anatomy.

As one student said, “My favorite part was when I got to see the three hearts. One of those hearts had a lot of surgeries done on and we had a chance to touch it and look closely at it… I found it very interesting and I think every student in A&P should experience going to this lab. I really thought it was just going to be a little tour and we were going to see labeled organs on tables, that's it. I didn't expect to have someone gives us so much information about every organ. I think that's what impressed me the most! “
