WesternU CPM and CETL collaborate on lower extremity 3D models to enhance student learning

Western University of Health Sciences College of Podiatric Medicine (CPM) students have new 3D-printed models to help them understand lower extremity anatomy and prepare for surgical rotations.

The models were developed by Educational 3D Visualization Specialist Gary Wisser of WesternU’s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) and CPM Assistant Professor Mary Schuh-Clark, DPM (pictured, right). CPM Director of Continuing Education and Assistant Professor Adrienne Estes, DPM ’13, MS, FACFAS, DABPM, and Foot and Ankle Center Medical Director and CPM Assistant Professor Chandler Hubbard, DPM ’18, FACPM, CWSP, also provided input and materials for the project.

The 3D-printed cross-sections provide anatomically correct levels of the lower extremity starting below the knee and ending below the ankle. They are available for student and faculty use in the WesternU Foot and Ankle Center, the CPM Administration office, and the Pumerantz Library.
