The Anatomage Tournament is a team-based competition that focuses on knowledge of anatomical structures. Participants will get hands-on experience with our Anatomage Table 3D technology while competing to test their anatomy knowledge. Outside of the tournament, educational workshops and hands-on activities will help prepare students for their collegiate careers.
Anatomical systems included in competition are skeletal, cardiovascular, digestive, muscular and respiratory.
