visiblebodyWant to study heart and lung anatomy?  Other aspects of human anatomy? Do you want an interactive anatomy atlas on your iPad?  Himmelfarb has the Visible Body Anatomy Atlas for you!

Visible Body Human Anatomy Atlas provides a new way to study and explore anatomy. This online anatomy atlas allows you to view specific structures and layers from head to toe, rotate anatomical models, and explore systemic and regional anatomy.

Visible Body Human Anatomy Atlas includes 5,000+ medically accurate anatomical structures and was developed by medically trained illustrators and reviewed by anatomists. This atlas allows you to explore human anatomy via multiple approaches: systemic anatomy, regional anatomy, cross sections, senses, and muscle actions.

To install, download the app from an on-campus location (or from off-campus while you have Cisco AnyConnect turned ‘on’).  To maintain access to the app,  open your Visible Body app while on-campus or  while off-campus and connected via Cisco AnyConnect at least every 150 days.

AccessMed_headerWhat is a clinician-educator? How has medicine shaped the evolution of the clinician-educator?

Emeritus faculty Larrie Greenberg describes this change in medical education from his unique perspective as an active participant in this history. In a recent article in Academic Medicine, Dr. Greenberg describes three processes which were instrumental in this process: faculty development, educational scholarship, and communities of learning.

Greenberg, L. (2018). The Evolution of the Clinician–Educator in the United States and Canada: Personal Reflections Over the Last 45 Years. Academic Medicine, 93(12), 1764-1766.

To find more articles by Dr. Greenberg and other GW faculty who engage health sciences education research, check out this bibliography which includes publications by GW faculty in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Milken Institute School of Public Health, and the School of Nursing.
