SRCTC has recently purchased a 3-D human and animal life size anatomical dissection table known as the Anatomage Table. This is the first of its kind in North Dakota and will be used in Health and Medical Science classes, EMT Training, and a variety of science courses. It is a truly an impressive piece of visual aide equipment to be used on the cutting edge of Health and Vet Science instruction.
