Overview
Overview
The Anato-Bee is a free high school outreach initiative aimed to promote education in anatomy, embryology, and histology. The competition format makes for a fun, collaborative experience—as it tests students on their knowledge in anatomy, embryology, histology, and diagnostic skills through a spelling-bee inspired format. Top placing students at each regional competition will be awarded scholarships to attend a summer program of their choice that focuses on the anatomical and/or clinical sciences.

Takes place 01/25/25 for 2024-2025 season
Regional Competition
Anatomy Lab Practical: 50 multiple choice questions related to tagged structures on cadaveric donors, models and diagnostic images. All tagged structures will be selected from the published Lab Practical Structure Checklist.
Standardized Patient Diagnoses: Written diagnoses of 10 volunteer “standardized patients” using illness scripts. A list of 40 possible patient illnesses will be included with the 11 possible questions allowed to be asked of the standardized patient.
Written Exam: 125 multiple choice questions that allow participants to demonstrate mastery of the study guide objectives for anatomy, histology, and embryology.
Clinical Applications for the Oral Quiz Round: 30 open-ended/single best answer questions related to the anatomical sciences. Questions will be asked verbally to all participants who have 60 seconds to respond via an electronic polling system on their personal devices. Participants are eliminated from this session after 3 incorrect responses are given and cannot accrue any additional points towards their competition total afterwards.
Top 2 students of each regional competition receive a stipend for a summer research experience in anatomical and/or biomedical sciences.
