AUSOM is one of the first Caribbean medical schools to incorporate the most cutting edge technology available in medical school instruction: plastinated human organs. These specimens are actual human organs which are preserved through a process called plastination. This process increases specimen durability, allowing students to accurately study anatomical concepts without exposure to toxic chemicals.
