There is a fee of $4,750.00 for this course.  Your course fee includes a $550 non-refundable administrative fee.  Cancellations/Refunds:  Cancellations received on or before Dec 15, 2025 will receive a refund minus the non-refundable fee.  After that date, we cannot offer a refund, but we allow a participant to substitute a coworker in his or her place.

Registration is open until the class fills or late December.

The link below will bring you to the new registration System for Non-University students called Destiny One. During this process, you will be set up with a University of Minnesota guest ID that can be used to when registering for future classes and using the UMN library system. When completing the registration forms, you only need to complete the fields with a red asterisk AND please complete the fields for gender, company and name tag name. 

Requirements

• You must already be enrolled in a degree program as a University student to take this course for academic credit. This is a 2 or 3 credit class.

• Department permission is required for registration. Some students are enrolled in graduate or professional programs, but qualified undergraduates may also join the class, especially physiology majors. We do give preference to undergrad seniors over juniors and to students that register before mid-November.  Undergraduate students who have taken anatomy courses will be given preference.

Course Fees

In addition to your tuition, you will be billed for a course fee of approximate $525. This will be billed to your Spring semester student account. The course fee is primarily for use of human cadavers in the afternoon labs, as well as for equipment use. Tuition is determined by your college program, and our department does not have specific information on that. Click here to get more information from OneStop Student Services.

This course is made up primarily of industry professions that are from medical device companies.  If there is available room in the course, we give priority to graduate students, then Physiology majors and BME students.  

1. Complete the Google Form for UMN students (link below) to put yourself on a wait list.  If there is available room, permission numbers will be emailed in November.
    
2. Note before registering: There will be one take-home exam. The score on that exam and individual participation in the labs and lectures will be used to determine the final grade. Two graduate credits will normally be awarded for this course. Students registered for three (3) credits* must also complete a final paper, which will contribute to 33% of the total grade. This course is letter grade (A-F).
   *Please Note: Before you commit to a third credit and write a paper, please carefully read the warning on the registration form above. The third credit is accomplished after the short course and during the spring semester. Grades for this 2 or 3 credit class are not officially posted in the U of MN system until the end of the spring semester.  Registration is open until the course is full. Typically, this class fills quickly.
