Are you a busy clinician that needs CEUs, 1.25 CEUs to be exact? Perhaps you're a student currently in a program that has limited access to cadavers to study? Would you simply like a refresher on structures via actual human bodies and want to support the APTA whilst doing so? You're in luck, because Regis University is hosting their annual Cadaver Day for people exactly like you!

On Cadaver Day, the physical therapy students at Regis University show all of their hard work of the semester to clinicians and students in the community. For 75 minutes, you can explore several prosected cadavers and hear an explanation of the process and a breakdown of the structures by Regis' own faculty and students in the lab with you.

Cadaver Day is Saturday, October 25th, starting at either 8am or 9:30am (timeslots can be added based upon demand). It will be held in Regis University Cadaver Lab; Peter Claver Hall room 010 — park in parking in Lot 4 for easy parking (day ticket parking required). The tickets are $25 for clinicians and $20 for students.

If you would like to purchase tickets, please follow this link to select timeslots.
