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). The four perspectives are: 1. Regions: includes surface and functional anatomy; 2. Systems: includes conceptual and clinical anatomy; 3. Dissection: includes practical procedures and post-mortem, and 4. Imaging: includes sectional and endoscopic anatomy. There are nine modules, and each module covers the equivalent of 40 hours of course contact time. The interactive text, image overlays, labels and clinical questions are optional and allow you to explore anatomy at any level of difficulty.
