COURSE ANNOUNCEMENTS:

☞ Exam III, the Exam III KEY, Exam III GRADES, and FINAL COURSE GRADES are all now posted!!! You should be very proud as a class about the extraordinarily strong showing that you turned in as you worked so hard toward the finish line this summer. Impressive!!
 
PLEASE NOTE: ANY FORM OF IMAGING -- VIDEOGRAPHIC OR PHOTOGRAPHIC, DIGITAL OR ANALOG -- IN THE ANATOMY LABORATORY IS EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN WITHOUT EXPLICIT AUTHORIZATION FROM THE COURSE DIRECTOR. ANY VIOLATIONS OF THIS POLICY WILL BE IMMEDIATELY REPORTED TO THE APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE(S) IN THE SCHOOL OF HEALTH TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT.
 

BOOKS AND RELATED RESOURCES:    

Below is a brief summary of the books and related materials that you will need for the course. Please see the syllabus (above) for more detailed information and purchasing options.

There are two books (or related digital resources) that are required for this course: (1) a dissection manual and (2) an atlas. A third book -- a textbook of human anatomy -- is strongly suggested, but not absolutely required.

(1) DISSECTOR: Grant's Anatomy Lab, 15th edition. Wolters Kluwer. Based on the classic Grant's Dissector, this is an online dissection guide that has been customized specifically for this course. In order to gain access to the dissector, you must first purchase an access code ($119.99 for one year of online access, purchased through RedShelf: https://redshelf.com/item/21174). Then go to the publisher's website (thePoint: https://thepoint.lww.com/gateway) to redeem your access code. (Click on New User, and then enter your access code to create your account and set your password. Then, the first time you log in to access the dissector, you will be asked to join a class. Your class code is CL186. For more detailed instructions from the publisher about how to set up your account and log in, see GAL Instructions.)
***PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST PURCHASE YOUR ACCESS CODE FOR THE DISSECTOR BY THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS (TUESDAY, JUNE 18th).***

(2) ATLAS: Any comprehensive and reasonably recent atlas of human anatomy -- new or used -- will suffice. The two that have been used most widely over recent decades have been Netter's and Grant's (although a newer atlas published by Thieme, now in its third edition, has been gaining steadily in popularity throughout recent years):
Atlas of Human Anatomy, 7th edition. F. H. Netter. Elsevier, 2019. 672 pp.
Grant's Atlas of Anatomy, 14th edition. A. M. R. Agur and A. F. Dalley. Wolters Kluwer/LWW, 2017. 896 pp.
Atlas of Anatomy, 3rd edition. A. M. Gilroy and B. R. MacPherson. Thieme, 2016. 760 pp.

(3) TEXTBOOK: Although not explicitly required, any reasonably thorough and modern textbook of human anatomy -- new or used -- would serve as a potentially valuable resource to you in this course. Two books in particular stand out as being especially well suited for this course, as they are both adequately comprehensive, yet also reasonably concise (at least when compared with widely used unabridged anatomy texts, some of which well exceed 1000 pages!):

Core Concepts in Anatomy, 3rd edition. J. T. Stern, Jr. 2012 (revised 2017). ~300 pp.
Moore's Essential Clinical Anatomy, 6th edition. A. M. R. Agur and A. F. Dalley. Wolters Kluwer/LWW, 2019. 720 pp.
(In both cases, used copies -- even those of previous editions -- are fine.)
       

COURSE GRADES: 

HBA 561/540: A = 90%, B = 80%, C = 70%, D = 60%

HBA 461: A = 85%, B = 75%, C = 65%, D = 55%

 If we curve, we'll only do it to your advantage; i.e., we do not raise the standards for grades, but we may consider lowering them.

 

DIGITAL WORKFLOW IN THE LABORATORY:

In your laboratory dissections, you will be following step-by-step instructions given in Grant's Anatomy Lab, an online dissection guide that has been customized specifically for this course (see above). The dissector will be accessed via iPads that reside in the lab, and these can be mirrored to large, overhead displays that are distributed throughout the lab. For simple, step-by-step instructions on how to access and display your online dissector using the digital technology in the anatomy laboratory, see GAL Access and Display. (Please familiarize yourself with these procedures prior to the first laboratory.)
