Anatomy camp for high school students has finished up for 2025
Area high-schoolers experienced a gross anatomy lab in person when the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM) hosted its third annual Clinical Anatomy Summer Experience (C.A.S.E.) camp June 23-27 on the school’s campus in Lewisburg, W.Va.
C.A.S.E. is free for campers and provides hands-on clinical anatomy education in the classroom and WVSOM’s gross anatomy lab. Participants learn about anatomical structures and their clinical importance through a weeklong series of interactive activities.
Karen Wines, a WVSOM anatomy instructor who leads the camp, said the experience allows attendees to understand the human body’s complexities in a new way and teach them about the different options available to people who want to work in the health care industry.
The C.A.S.E. camp is funded by the Jeanne G. Hamilton and Lawson W. Hamilton Jr. Family Foundation, FirstEnergy Corporation, the WVSOM Foundation and the WVSOM Alumni Association.
