Center for Anatomical and Movement Sciences

Our Mission

The Center for Anatomical Movement Sciences (CAMS) is one of eight specialized centers associated with the School of Science and Engineering (SSE). The Center is embedded in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and provides graduate and undergraduate instruction that allows students and faculty from associated departments to study anatomical specimens specific to their discipline. CAMS originated from the remodeling and expansion of the former Human Anatomy Lab housed in the Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences. Its main goal is to provide anatomical instruction and resources to the Department of Biomedical Engineering, while also offering a pre-clinical track of anatomy and physiology courses. Cadaveric anatomy at the undergraduate level is a unique experience, making CAMS a center that provides students with an exceptional hands-on dissection experience while pursuing their studies in anatomy. The center has developed a significant outreach program that offers instructional events to community colleges and high schools from around the state of Louisiana.
