Year 13 Biology students visited Honved Hospital to view a human autopsy
IB Diploma Biology students visited Honved Hospital to view a human autopsy.
Our IB Diploma Biology students were given a rare opportunity to visit the Honved Hospital and attend a human autopsy. As well as complementing the Animal Physiology part of the IB Diploma Biology course, this was a valuable opportunity for any of our students interested in studying Medicine or Biomedical Sciences at University.
Below is a review from one of our Year 13 students, Catherine Nicholls.
“I’ve never seen anything so alien yet so wholly human at the same time. On 1st March, sixteen IB Diploma Biology students visited Honved Hospital to view a human autopsy. The opportunity to witness something only previously seen on paper made everything we had learnt intensely real; maybe a little too intense for some! From segments of the cerebellum to chambers of the heart, the rare insight we were given into the human body has changed not only our knowledge, but changed our view about ourselves and the world around us. We would like to thank Mr Papp and Ms Uhure for such a fascinating real-life experience, as well a special thank you to Nikolay for the post-faint Smarties! Thank you for the experience!”
