OUM is such a young school. Does it have a cadaver lab like larger medical schools, in order to tea

Students will do some cadaver study when they participate in autopsies with a supervising pathologist. OUM also uses other instructional modes to teach anatomy and laboratory sciences. Many medical schools are moving away from cadaver laboratory work toward high-quality electronic teaching material. Numerous medical school accrediting bodies now acknowledge that laboratory exercises may be "real or simulated." There are several computer models today that accurately simulate the body, often with better views than you would see in an anatomy class. The US National Institutes of Health developed many models that are used in medical education. As a supplemental resource, there is a small anatomy museum on campus that contains normal and pathological anatomical specimens. Students are required to spend some time at the museum during the foundation anatomy module and throughout the system based modules in Years 2 and 3.

In addition to gross anatomy, a good portion of laboratory work involves acquiring skills to collect and analyze raw data from graphs, blood work, and other pathological results. To develop these skills, OUM students are required to attend laboratory sessions (two hours/week) during the first three years (Foundation and Preclinical Phases). Students will also be asked to interpret laboratory style MCQs and are given mini-assignments. While most assignments test physiological theory, others explore interpretation of clinical concepts in order to build and strengthen diagnostic skills.
