Let's get physical: anatomy in the digital age
In series such as "Grey's Anatomy" and "In aller Freundschaft", doctors fulfil the ideal image of the medical role. They are approachable and emphatic and also possess immense anatomical expertise that helps them to heal their patients. But how did they learn to do this so well? This is exactly the question we ask ourselves every day in anatomy. How can we impart fundamental core knowledge to budding doctors that they can later apply successfully in their academic appointments? Find out how a Dr House learnt his anatomy and immerse yourself in the classic, digital and virtual teaching formats of anatomy.

Microscope instead of circular saw
The former carpentry and metalworking rooms on the ground floor of building A03 are buzzing with activity. First-semester medical students at 64 workstations peer intently through the eyepieces and search for flat, cubic and cylindrical epithelial cells on the specimens. Instead of heavy tools, there are modern microscopes on the tables in two of the three newly renovated rooms; instead of being characterised by craftsmanship, this area is now dominated by histology. A large partition wall in the centre has been pushed back so that the two almost identically constructed rooms merge into one large microscopy room for this event.

New microscopy room completed
A new 200 square metre microscopy room* has been created in the former carpentry and metalworking rooms on the ground floor of the A03 building on the Haarentor campus of the University of Oldenburg. So that it can be used for different courses, it can be flexibly separated into two roughly identical individual rooms using a partition wall.
