Participants qualified through local competitions to advance to the regional level. This free outreach initiative promotes education in anatomy, embryology and histology while encouraging students to explore careers in the anatomical sciences. The top two finishers received stipends to attend a summer STEM program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe weekend was a tremendous success, and I was so proud of the students and their commitment to excellence,\u201d Dr. Adams said. \u201cThe Anato\u2011Bee inspires young learners to explore anatomy as a career, and it was rewarding to see our doctoral students share their own paths in the anatomical sciences. We\u2019re thankful for the support of the UNMC College of Dentistry and the UNMC Department of Oral Biology. I hope to connect with more high school teachers in the area about participating next year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event\u2019s fun, collaborative competition format included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An anatomy lab practical consisting of 50 multiple choice questions involving clinical imaging, histological slides and donor pins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Standardized patient interactions and diagnosis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A written exam composed of 125 multiple choice questions demonstrating mastery of &nbsp;study guide objectives for anatomy, histology and embryology.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clinical applications oral quiz round consisting of 30 completion questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCongratulations to Dr. Nancy Adams for her hard work and initiative in helping to bring about the successful Northwest Regional AnatoBee competition,\u201d said Thomas Petro, DDS, interim chair of the UNMC Department of Oral Biology. \u201cWe also thank our partners at the UNMC Department of Genetics, Cell Biology and Anatomy.\u201d<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\" kBnx gIieRiBq
