KAISER STUDENTS SHINE AT FIRST-EVER HAWAIʻI ANATOMAGE TOURNAMENT!
On Tuesday, April 7, 2026, seven Kaiser High School sophomores competed in the inaugural Hawaii Anatomage Tournament held at the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). This high-stakes, team-based competition tests students' knowledge of anatomical structures using Anatomage Tables, an interactive, touch-screen 3D anatomy platform.
We are very proud of these students for the dedication they showed leading up to the event; spending significant time studying on their own, including staying late after school or fitting in study sessions around their busy sports schedules.
Two teams represented us:
Team It's Never Lupus: Chloe Zerga, Celia Cioffi, Kyla Vondrus
Team Ctrl+Alt+Dissect: Mia Meeds, Kailie Arpia, Kaitlin Miyashiro, Abbigail Song
Special congratulations to Ctrl+Alt+Dissect for advancing to the Top 16 among 40 competing teams from across the state!
In addition to the tournament, our students participated in a "Medical Escape Room" workshop and were given the opportunity to visit the JABSOM cadaver lab. They also engaged in career mentorship with a wide range of professionals, including:
Emergency Medicine Physicians & Medical Students
Registered Nurses & Nursing Students
Paramedics and EMTs
