FISH

The purpose of the FISH Program is to service area high schools and colleges by providing an educational opportunity for students. The goal of the program is to educate students about alternative health care careers while also providing them with a unique learning experience in the area of anatomy and physiology. Students will be able to participate in a hands-on presentation with a pre-dissected human cadaver and they will also be introduced to the impressive facilities and personnel available to all students pursuing their academic education at National University.
