The Status of Cadaver-Based Anatomy Instruction in Missouri Medical Schools.

Cadaveric dissection has been a foundational principle of medical anatomic education for the last 400 years, yet medical anatomy course hours have been drastically reduced in the last decades. With this course reduction and the availability of other modalities for anatomic instruction, the physician may question the current role of cadavers in medical anatomy courses. This study aims to evaluate the role cadaveric dissection plays in anatomy programs in allopathic and osteopathic medical schools in Missouri and compare course hours to the national trend.

Looking for PANDAS in Missouri.

This review seeks to educate clinicians and advocate for patients having acute-onset pediatric autoimmune encephalopathy. Primary care providers caring for children are not fully aware of the debilitating illness that changes the life of a child and a family overnight. Our goal is to heighten awareness of a) the initial diagnosis, b) treatment and c) information about referral of affected children by health professionals in Missouri and surrounding states.
