So You Want to Be a Doctor?
- Did you ever want to put your hands inside a corpse?
-
- Students in the Honors Advanced Anatomy program at Westlake High School in Westlake Village, California, are among the only high school kids in the country who get hands-on experience dissecting human cadavers.
-
- Six students work on each body, using scalpels and other medical instruments to open up the corpses to learn the basics of anatomy.
-
- Twenty four kids are accepted into the program each year. Most of them plan to be doctors--but there are always a handful who are too grossed out by the experience to continue.
