Anatomy Learning Institute
The Anatomy Learning Institute (ALI) at PLNU equips learners with a strong understanding of anatomy that will prepare them for a variety of academic pursuits and career paths. We offer degree programs, minors, certifications and standalone courses for a broad spectrum of age groups and experience levels, both in-person and online. In addition to traditional undergraduate and graduate programs, we also offer degree completion and online programs, plus experiential learning for high school students.
Anatomy as a discipline is considered as the gatekeeper to all health sciences. Our mission at the Anatomy Learning Institute is to provide anatomy learning opportunities to remove barriers and promote diversity.
We at the ALI are dedicated to using evidence-based practices to promote excellence in the scholarships of teaching, discovery, application, and integration of the anatomical sciences.
