Interprofessional Education: Medical Students Create a Cadaver Lab Workshop for Nursing Students at a Neutral Cost.

Cadaver labs are one of the staples of medical education in the United States, yet it is relatively uncommon for nursing students to have the opportunity to engage in the direct observation, hands-on learning, and the efficiency of the immersive environment in a cadaver-based anatomy lab. The primary aim of this project was to determine if medical students could create and deliver a cadaver lab workshop for nursing students that would provide educational benefits to both groups of students at a neutral cost. The purpose of this activity was to evaluate how a cadaver lab for nursing students could increase understanding of clinically-relevant anatomy, disease, and indwelling medical devices, while enhancing overall clinical problem-solving skills.
