Lab Notes

Hello everyone, Liz here. I am thrilled to share with you highlights of our first Hands-On Lab. This series is all about what we believe at Anatomy Warehouse: real tools, real practice, and sparking curiosity through hands-on learning. We began with the Venipuncture and IV Practice Arm Kit and Simulation Arm. Conceived through input from health care professionals, educators, and students, this trainer offers the capability to mimic venipuncture, cannula advancement, needle insertion, and more. …

Many people prefer to learn through seeing and doing. Regardless of preferences, this hands-on approach is an effective way to learn a variety of subjects and become a better problem solver. See what the research says about hands-on learning (aka experiential learning) and the best approaches to implementing it.  What Is the Experiential Learning Model? The official experiential learning model (ELM) was developed by David A. Kolb in the 1980s, focusing on four stages: experiencing, reflecti …
