Mequon, Wis. — November 21, 2025 —Concordia University Wisconsin has introduced the Anatomage Table, an advanced digital anatomy system that adds clarity and dimension to the study of the human body for students across several health programs. The technology supports hands-on, visually rich exploration that strengthens understanding and prepares learners for service-minded work in the health professions.
Members of the media are invited to visit campus to see the table in action and learn more about its impact on teaching and learning.
The life-sized, touchscreen technology uses high-resolution images from real human cadavers—and in some cases animals—to support virtual dissection, layered visualization and detailed 3D exploration. The tool strengthens CUW’s commitment to preparing knowledgeable and compassionate health professionals who serve others with skill and integrity.
“Students from a wide range of academic programs will benefit from this new Anatomage Table,” said Dr. Robert Balza, biology professor and associate vice president of Academics for Teaching, Learning, and Academic Innovation. He noted its value for students in nursing, physical therapy, diagnostic medical sonography, rehabilitation science, speech-language pathology, biomedical sciences and pre-veterinary studies.
During recent demonstrations, students interacted with “Hans,” one of the table’s full-body models. Because digital dissections can be repeated and undone, learners can revisit complex structures and study systems from multiple perspectives.
Biomedical science senior and Pre-Med Club President Madeline Brashaw said the technology helps students grasp both individual structures and the body as a whole. “It’s very realistic and detailed,” she said. “The more you interact with it, the easier it becomes to fully understand how everything works together.”
Balza emphasized that the table complements rather than replaces hands-on learning. “This is one more tool that allows us to offer a wide range of experiential opportunities,” he said.
The Anatomage Table underscores CUW’s dedication to innovative, faith-informed preparation for future health professionals. For a demonstration, contact Susan Suleski, director of communications, at the information below.
