WNEP-TV reported on today’s Penn College Regional Anatomage Tournament, which brought 20 teams from 12 Pennsylvania high schools to campus to test their anatomy skills. View the story here.
The local ABC affiliate’s Mackenzie Aucker, accompanied by photojournalist Tom Durant, interviewed the college’s Elizabeth S. Gizenski, director of surgical technology, as well as Anatomage’s Robert Smith, regional sales manager for the company, and a student from Benton High School.
On the stage of Penn College's Academic Center Auditorium, the Anatomage Table 3D technology is explained to WNEP-TV reporter Mackenzie Aucker and photojournalist Tom Durant by company rep Robert Smith.
Throughout the morning, teams competed in the preliminary round on the Klump Academic Center Auditorium. Each was tasked with answering 25 questions in 5 minutes. From there, the top eight were identified to compete in progressively more difficult challenges in the afternoon. By day’s end, the 20 teams were narrowed to four, who are invited to the National Anatomage Tournament at University of Nevada Las Vegas.
Watch Penn College News for results. Members of the top three teams also receive Penn College scholarships.
In addition to the competition, the visitors took part in hands-on workshops in the college’s physical therapist assistant, radiography, surgical technology and nursing labs.
