The tournament is a team-based competition that focuses on knowledge of anatomical structures, using the Anatomage table—a life-size anatomy and digital dissection tool. As a provider of medical training and education technologies, Anatomage offers a variety of virtual and in-person anatomy tournaments designed to support students’ anatomy and physiology learning while fostering collaboration and teamwork.

Students practice on USM’s own Anatomage table, which the school obtained in the fall of 2022.
