Pueblo Community College has purchased a synthetic cadaver, which faculty say will ultimately save the school resources.<\/p>\n

The cadaver is constructed using synthetic fibers and water, and it is built to withstand years of dissections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis high-fidelity simulation will save the college resources by not having our students dissect animals semester after semester,\u201d said Carter Smith, coordinator of the emergency medical services program at PCC Southwest.<\/p>\n

The cadaver was purchased using funds from an Amendment 50 grant the college received for $89,946, said Shannon Livick, special assistant to the school\u2019s executive dean. It will primarily be used by biology, nursing and emergency medical students.<\/p>\n

The college held its first-ever synthetic cadaver dissection April 8 in the health occupations building.<\/p>\n
