The Schwartz Foundation has enabled the establishment of the Anatomy museum and Surgical Skills laboratory at the newly established Medical School of the Notre Dame University, adjacent to St Vincent's Hospital and Hospice in Darlinghurst, Sydney. Moreover, Dr. Jerry Schwartz is involved in setting up the museum, and also to assist in the Anatomy curriculum.
Creating this surgical skills laboratory and Anatomy Museum involved both large donations of money and over 300 specimens of body parts from all systems of the body. The museum at the newly established Medical School even has a fully plastinated human specimen called “ happy”. These specimens have also been electronically documented, proving to be excellent part of the study program for medical students.
Dr Schwartz is particularly proud of this initiative, as the Anatomy Museum is located just across from where his father Bela Schwartz's Dental Surgery was once located.
