BODY WORLDS 3 For Health Care Professionals
Knowing about your body helps prevent illness

Every day, health care professionals are called upon to practice preventative medicine by explaining health risks to patients – with the ultimate goal of improving public health. With the same goal, doctors, nurses and other health care providers are asked to explain the pathophysiology of illnesses to the sick so that they better understand the situation and better accept and follow the treatment they are prescribed.

In this light, BODY WORLDS 3 & The Story of the Heart is a perfect part of educating the public about health care. BODY WORLDS 3 supports public health education by providing an insightful and memorable view of both healthy and diseased organs and body systems. Imagine a person suffering from hardening of the coronary vessels who has been given this diagnosis by a doctor. Visiting the exhibition and seeing a real cardiac muscle with its delicate vascular system may bring them to realize, more vividly than standard patient education can, just how easy it is for the small vessels to become blocked if dangers such as nicotine and high cholesterol levels are not addressed.

Experiencing human anatomy should be an option for the general public as well as for doctors or health care professionals. BODY WORLDS 3 gives you the chance to invite your patients to learn more about the human body, and to examine anatomy in ways that medical studies or even working as a surgeon cannot provide. Plus, the exhibit may offer the opportunity to speak more openly about illness and death when talking to patients.

Invite your patients, colleagues and friends to share this experience!
