This five-day course will be held at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine from March 12-16, 2012. This annual course was named in memory of Dr. Alton D.

The primary teaching method is the dissection of the head and neck. Lectures, demonstrations, and audiovisuals demonstrating specific anatomical relationships of organs and organ systems will augment the laboratory dissections.
