Unforgettable Anatomy Lessons with One Health Focus

Tufts University

On the path to becoming a medical professional, there are moments that stay with a student forever. On a recent Saturday, about 165 students from the medical, dental, and veterinary schools had such an experience at the Comparative Anatomy Exchange Day, or CadEx for short. The annual interdisciplinary event focuses on One Health-the concept that human, animal, and environmental health are intrinsically connected.

The program started in 2017 after a veterinary student raised the idea for an “anatomy exchange day” to John Castellot, professor of medical education at Tufts University School of Medicine and co-chair of the Tufts University One Health Committee
