The Human Anatomy and Physiology class will be holding an optional and voluntary Spring 2021 Lab Day field trip on Wednesday, April 14^th. All students currently enrolled in Human Anatomy & Physiology classes are eligible to attend. Students will work with their instructor to determine which one of the two lab times - morning session (9:00 to 11:45 am) lab or afternoon session (12:00 to 2:30 pm) lab - they are to attend. The lab day will be held at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center, Abingdon, Virginia.

Please note that students are not required to attend. This year the experience is optional for every A&P student. There will be no grade(s) associated with the lab day, nor will failure to attend negatively impact a student's grade and/or standing in the class.

In order to make the lab day a safe and enjoyable learning experience for everyone, all students will be required to abide by the following:

• Students will be required to wear a mask covering mouth and nose at all times. Gloves and goggles will be provided by HGS and must be worn at all times when students are interacting with the dissection specimens.
• Students will observe 6 feet of social distancing at all times – no lab pairs or groups will be permitted. Anatomic models and/or specimens will be placed in individual stations, and only one student will be allowed at each station at a time. Shared equipment will be cleaned between students.
