visiblebodyhumananatomyatlasVisible Body Human Anatomy Atlas provides a new way to study and explore anatomy. This online anatomy atlas allows users 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 users to explore human anatomy via multiple approaches: systemic anatomy, regional anatomy, cross sections, senses, and muscle actions.

If you're an instructor interested in using Visible Body Human Anatomy Atlas in instruction, you can explore examples of its integration and course materials on the Visible Body Education webpage.

This resource is available to users from on- and off-campus locations as well as as an app. For web access, system requirements will display when you access the resource, and additional information is available via the Support Troubleshooting FAQ.    For app access, please consult the Visible Body Human Anatomy Atlas app instructions.

Himmelfarb Library announces the launch of a new digital collection in June 2017 in the Health Sciences Research Commons, the Historical Collection. The focus of the collection is the people, places, and events that make up the evolution of the George Washington University School of Medicine.

Items in the collection include, but are not limited to, photographs, newsletters, publications, and newspapers.  Some highlights include a telegram sent to a newly-accepted medical student, course catalogs from the 19th century, and images of buildings from the Columbian College, the predecessor of today’s George Washington University.

cknew2The FirstConsult app has been discontinued by the vendor and has been replaced by the ClinicalKey app.  Users should delete the FirstConsult app from their devices and install the ClinicalKey app.
The ClinicalKey app offers users access to full-text books and journal articles as well as FirstConsult.  Unlike the FirstConsult app, the ClinicalKey app will not install a full-text library on your device but will instead provide app access to ClinicalKey.  The ClinicalKey app requires wifi/data access in order to function.
To install the ClinicalKey app
  1. Access ClinicalKey and create personal login/password (note: if you already have a personal ClinicalKey login/password, you can use that account information).
  2. Download the free ClinicalKey app from the App Shelf, Google Play, or the GW SMHS Self-Service area on your iPad.
  3. On your phone or iPad, access the ClinicalKey app then login with your ClinicalKey login/password.  Note: you will need to access the web version of ClinicalKey and login to your personal ClinicalKey account once every 90 days in order to maintain your access to your ClinicalKey app.
If you have any questions, please contact Laura Abate (leabate@gwu.edu).
