Human gross anatomy is taught in the fall (for medical illustration majors) and in the spring (for physician assistant and biomedical sciences majors) with the use of cadaver specimens acquired from the University of Rochester's School of Medicine. This is very unique preparation for the next level of medical education that very few undergraduates across the country get to experience through this in-depth exposure to human anatomy through cadaver dissection.

The Fitness Lab houses state-of-the-art equipment utilized by exercise science students to gain hands-on experience conducting fitness assessments and testing. Fitness services, such as fitness assessments, are also provided by exercise science students to the RIT community.

The state-of-the-art Simulation Laboratory consists of three parts: a patient room that contains a simulation mannequin, a control room where operation of the mannequin occurs, and a debriefing room where faculty interact with students after simulated medical scenarios end. This lab serves as an integral part of our medical training curricula to provide students with their first true “patient” experience before they go out on clinical rotations. The mannequin simulator is programmed to exhibit a wide variety of disease states and is fully interactive with the students.
