Dissections
The Dumke College of Health Professions Admissions Advisement group offers dissection visits to high school level students. These presentations provide students with hands-on learning opportunities, in addition to Weber State University health professions advising information.
We primarily focus our dissections on high school classes because of the content and educational level of the presentations. Some of the course subjects we visit are introductions to health sciences, human anatomy and physiology, biology, exercise science, and Concurrent Enrollment courses.
