CNU Anatomy Academy SIG

SIG Introduction

Medical students in the SIG are broken into multiple groups and act as mentors and teachers for elementary school students. Anatomy Academy is integrated as part of the elementary school’s regular curriculum. Each week, medical students teach an organ system to the students, and promote healthy living through knowledge regarding proper diet and exercise. In other words, we teach the children how their bodies work and how their anatomy is related to their nutrition and exercise.

Mission Statement

Anatomy Academy is a student-run organization committed to the science, health, and physical education of children living in underserved communities in Sacramento and Elk Grove. By fostering relationships within the community, we aim to promote healthy living and to encourage the pursuit of higher education through teaching anatomy and basic nutrition. Our mission is to provide a sustainable infrastructure that brings together students, faculty, and community members in an effort to combat health disparities through educational intervention.
