The Anatomy Learning Institute features facilities at both the Point Loma Campus and Balboa Campus at PLNU, which combine high-end technology and virtual learning with hands-on experiences. ALI students at PLNU have the opportunity to work with body donors in a live dissection. These opportunities are offered across several undergraduate and graduate disciplines throughout the academic year.

We also offer opportunities to reserve our learning spaces. Clinicians, medical providers, and other professionals are able to use the learning space, in addition to high school classes and other organizations. We extend our resources to help the next generation of anatomy professionals to receive invaluable hands-on training with body donors and other innovative learning tools.
