Chippewa Valley Technical College has introduced an Anatomage Table to the students from Fall Creek, Bloomer, Cornell and Altoona high schools who are enrolled in the CVTC Healthcare Academy classes. This table is the most technically advanced way to study human anatomy available. It’s the same technology being used at advanced medical schools around the world. This virtual reality dissection table allows students to look at the digestive system, the respiratory or cardiovascular system – any system in the body and turn it around to look at in different ways. The $90,000 table was purchased with a grant to CVTC Foundation, Inc. from Rutledge Charities, Inc. in Chippewa Falls to support the expansion of high school academies. The academies provide opportunities for high school students to gain college credits through a cluster of classes on a particular subject and also provide the students with an industry-recognized certification. The CVTC credits also count toward high school graduation and count toward full programs at CVTC. In the Healthcare Academy, the students earn 14 credits and Certified Nursing Assistant credentials.
