Shaza, an aspiring heart surgeon, expressed “Today, we had the incredible opportunity to dissect real hearts to test our capabilities and how we respond to blood. Before we started, Miss Linkman walked us through the main parts of the heart, explaining what we should be looking for things like the ventricles, veins, and fatty tissues."

"Then, we got hands-on with the dissection, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Seeing all the different parts up close was absolutely fascinating. It really gave us a deeper understanding of how the heart works and what it’s like to handle real tissue. I just want to say a huge thank you to the school and to Miss Linkman for giving us this opportunity. It’s experiences like these that help us test our skills and prepare for the future.”
