Description

How can technology help us see inside the human body, and respond when something goes wrong?

Our Body Systems program gives students a unique opportunity to explore the human body using modern medical technologies and virtual tools. Students investigate major body systems and their functions through interactive 3D models and virtual reality anatomy. They compare 2D and 3D representations to better understand inter-system relationships and internal structures.

Using digital tools, students measure and interpret vital signs such as heart rate and respiration, linking these readings to physiological responses. They also participate in a CPR and emergency response challenge using the Ambulance Victoria simulation game, where they take on the role of first responders in real-world-inspired medical scenarios. By combining anatomy, health tech, and digital simulation, the program connects scientific knowledge with modern medical practice, while highlighting career pathways in healthcare, paramedicine, and biomedical science.
