What Is the Anatomage Table & How Does the Club Prepare You for Competition?

The Anatomage Table is one of the most advanced, life-sized 3D virtual dissection tools used in medical schools, surgical programs, and research labs around the world. Think of it as a digital cadaver lab—you can rotate full human bodies, isolate organs, explore systems layer-by-layer, view real CT/MRI scans, and practice clinical problem-solving through interactive case studies. It’s the closest you can get to real clinical anatomy without stepping into a surgical suite.

💪What You’ll Learn in the Anatomage Club

Our BMAH Anatomage Club turns this powerful tool into an exciting, hands-on learning experience. Students learn to:

• Identify anatomical structures with precision across all major body systems

• Trace diseases and injuries by exploring real patient imaging

• Practice diagnostic reasoning through interactive clinical cases

• Master 3D modeling and system navigation, just like medical students

• Build teamwork and communication skills essential for health careers

🏆How We Prep for Competitions

Students train with Anatomage-certified modules, competitive challenge sets, and past tournament content so they’re ready to shine. Preparation includes:

• Weekly skill-building sessions on anatomy, physiology, and medical imaging

• Timed practice rounds that simulate competition pacing

• Team strategy workshops to build speed, accuracy, and confidence

• Mini-tournaments where you can test your knowledge

• Coaching from BMAH staff who bring real medical and bioscience expertise

By the time competition season arrives, students are prepared to identify hundreds of structures, explain their functions, analyze clinical cases, and work collaboratively under pressure.

🎉Why Join?

You’ll gain college-level anatomy knowledge, boost your confidence for future health pathways, and represent BMAH in a unique, high-tech competition that very few high school students ever experience.

If you’re excited by medicine, surgery, bioengineering, diagnostics—or just love a good challenge—the Anatomage Club is for YOU.

INTEREST MEETING is Wednesday, 12/17, WHITE Block in room A226 with Mrs. Gabert.

Members of BMAH Council work closely with BMAH Leadership to promote, recruit, and bring new opportunities to students and the community. BMAH Council members are recruited in May for the upcoming year. 

Meetings are in room A228 on Tuesday's during WHITE block.
