HOSA Seniors and Juniors visited the SDSU Cadaver Lab yesterday. While the drive was long, the experience was top notch! Members were given the opportunity to touch and feel the cadavers and ask questions to Professor Minett and her teaching assistants. One special component was experiencing the virtual reality (VR) anatomy lab. Most students who attended were able to compare the SDSU cadaver lab to the USD cadaver lab that they visited last year.
State Basketball t-shirts are in the elementary office available to be picked up!
GO TROJANS!!!
