A&P Technologist offers students an exciting new way to study the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology. Ten interactive lessons complement a two-semester, community college-level course. A&P Technologist is ideal for advanced placement high school students; or for college level tech prep, pre-med, or biomedical engineering students; or for traditional, entry-level college students.
A&P Technologist contains over 1,500 images drawn from sources such as the National Library of Medicine's Visible Human Project, digitized X-rays, MRIs, PET Scans, and micrographs. Students gather data from gross to cellular levels and employ image processing technology to map, measure, contrast, or animate the information. A&P Technologist emphasizes scientific inquiry and uses cutting-edge image processing technology to enable students to explore basic concepts in anatomy and physiology while functioning in ways similar to cutting-edge researchers.
