A New Approach TO Medical Education: Developments In Anatomy

Ordering Information >>

Design: an@tomedia™ is a unique way to learn about the anatomy of the human body. It is a comprehensive, self-paced learning program that explores anatomy from four different perspectives. These perspectives teach you how the body is constructed (from regions and systems) and how you can deconstruct the body (with dissection and imaging techniques). Four perspectives: Regions: includes surface and functional anatomy Systems: includes conceptual and clinical anatomy Dissection: includes practical procedures and post-mortem Imaging: includes sectional and endoscopic anatomy Nine modules (five currently available): General Anatomy Back Abdomen Thorax Pelvis Upper Limb Lower Limb Neck Head What stage of development is it at? The first five modules (General Anatomy, Back, Thorax, Abdomen and Pelvis) of an@tomedia™ are now available. Upper limb is scheduled for release in the 2nd quarter of 2008. Other modules are in varying stages of completion and will be released at regular intervals thereafter. Benefits: Unlike any other anatomy multimedia program, an@tomedia™ combines an interactive photographic and illustrated atlas with detailed, serial dissections of real human bodies and coloured overlays. Most other available products are animated and lack detailed content, because they are designed for a specific learning task (eg. preparation for a 'flag' exam). Most are also limited in their interactivity and educational value because they do not address multiple perspectives of learning anatomy.
