Indiana University School of Medicine – Northwest (IUSM-NW) is accepting artwork from regional high school and college students.

The submissions will be considered for the creation of a flyer, which will promote the medical school’s annual program, the 2013 International Human Cadaver Prosection Program (IHCPP). The winning design will be displayed globally to promote the program. 

The hands-on medical education prosection program, the only one of its kind in the country, allows students and working professionals, the opportunity to learn anatomy and radiology by working in the medical school’s gross anatomy laboratory.

The participants will ready the body donors for the fall 2013 gross anatomy class. The physical process of prosection includes the removal of donors’ skin and body fat to expose organs, muscles and other anatomical structures.

Artwork submissions must be without text in an electronic and editable format (i.e., Photoshop), preferably on CD. The IUSM-NW must receive all entries by 5p.m. on Monday, June 3, 2013.
