Thus, anatomy education has evolved to include alternative strategies, such as plastic models and digital atlases. However, cadaver programs are extremely expensive, and dissection takes hours to perform and prolongs exposure to caustic chemicals. This traditional teaching modality provides a valuable understanding of the intricacies of human tissue, 3D nature of the body, and important relationships between neurovascular and muscular structures. For understanding anatomy, a cadaver dissection has historically been considered a sacrosanct experience.

The challenge, both for medical librarians and for anatomy instructors, is to select and effectively implement a 3D anatomy app, particularly for health sciences curricula that depend heavily on knowledge of anatomy, such as physical therapy (PT).ДЄ thorough understanding of 3D musculoskeletal anatomy is essential for PT practitioners, as manual skills and treatment interventions rely on clear mental images of underlying structures. Beyond traditional textbooks, library licensing can also allow students to use digital atlases to supplement their anatomy education with three-dimensional (3D) applications that provide a virtual lab experience with an interactive atlas.

Medical libraries provide essential resources for anatomy students. Medical libraries can use our experience as an example to help select anatomy resources that would be useful when considering the conversion of health sciences programs into online environments and further guide app integration to supplement other anatomical models. Based on success of the pilot, the library will purchase additional licenses. Student feedback indicated extensive use. Video recordings and live demonstrations of the app were used for instruction. The library purchased 1,000 CA redemption codes as a pilot program. CA was selected based on smoother navigation, visually appealing graphics, and user customization tools. Features and shortcomings of two anatomy apps, Complete Anatomy (CA) 2019 by 3D4 Medical and Human Anatomy Atlas (HAA) 2019 by Visible Body, were reviewed. Reported here are our: (1) analysis and identification of an anatomy app to supplement cadaver lab instruction for DPT students who were enrolled in a hybrid program, where the majority of instruction took place online (2) description of the implementation process and (3) discussion of student feedback and the libraryвЂ™s perspective.

Selection was a challenge at the authorsвЂ™ university, as the doctor of physical therapy (DPT) program expanded into a hybrid online environment. App selection is particularly important when traditional learning modalities, such as cadaver dissection, are not feasible. The challenge for medical libraries and educators is to select an app that best supports anatomical learning objectives and then effectively integrate it into health sciences curricula. Three-dimensional digital anatomy applications can provide a powerful supplement to more traditional learning modalities.
