This semester (Spring 2003) I have begun teaching the musculoskeletal system to my 11th and 12th grade students at Clinton High School using the MANIKEN^TM  system from Zahourek Systems. I have two classes with a total of 42 students . They are "share-paired" so that each student has one-half Maniken^TM . Pairs are combined so that four people share a set of group tools and muscle atlas.

The final cut

    This pilot effort would not have been possible without the support of Jon Zahourek and his company. In addition, some of the Manikens^TM were purchased with a grant from BWXT Y-12, an Oak Ridge, TN contractor and also the financial support of Dr. Randall Robbins, local orthopaedic surgeon. I gratefully acknowledge them.
