@MikaelaStiver @zoom_us We can also make a concerted effort to go to smaller groups - we can't go directly from a classroom lecture to a video lecture with 50-150 learners. One can successfully engage online with 5-15 learners. #Anatomy20 #AnatomyDEI

@ToppK @zoom_us Wonderful suggestions! I reckon things will only get smoother as educators and students alike acclimatize to online formats.

Facilitating and maintaining student engagement is so much more straightforward face-to-face. Even in my small @zoom_us tutorials most students opt to turn off audio/video, limiting their interaction to the chat... anyone have any tips or tricks to liven things up? #Anatomy20

Thanks @betabarb !

Keep this conversation going !

Thank you for chairing the AAA DEI Committee, @lamsciworld ! Thanks to the Amer Assoc for Anatomy (@AnatomyOrg) for working to improve diversity, equity and inclusion in our educational and professional communities. #Anatomy20 #AnatomyDEI

What an outstanding idea @laurenwhale1 !!!

What great discussions! Amer Assoc for Anatomy (AAA) can help keep these conversations on diversity in education and research front and center! #Anatomy20 #AnatomyDEI

@DrMAMcNulty @DrMAMcNulty Heard a great tip this morning in the AAA PT Interest Group gathering. Insert a time for learners to share their best, clean joke. Also, consider a game of BINGO in the break. Change out numbers for the week's experiences, foods, etc. Jeopardy with anatomy terms.

Colleagues are our best resource @LauraEJohnson3 ! The AAA Open Forum or AAA special interest group forums.

And when we do have a cadaver with significant adipose, we need to immediately curb students' comments during lab! This is an opportunity to teach inclusivity, and help them carry the thoughts into their clinical practice and larger world.

I'm going to get this! Thanks @sattardi

@anatomalli @anatomalli Our school has a willed body program and makes careful choices for cadavers for local use. Seems we keep the "best", but this doesn't give the students exposure to diversity in body type or shape.

RT @gabs_finn: @OrganJM @ToppK @angeliquee_93 Get them all body painting at home. Simple marking using an eyeliner pencil would work. House…

@angeliquee_93 @angeliquee_93 Let's commit to doing better! Let's modify our handouts, remind our students, ask colleagues to model for surface anatomy sessions!

Have we got you thinking about inclusion in anatomy education??? Gender identities, physical abilities, body weights, ages, body shapes, etcetera? YES! #AnatomyDEI #Anatomy20

oops #AnatomyDEI

Q4 Textbook images are often of persons of different apparent sexes, but rarely of different gender identities, physical abilities, body weights, ages, or body shapes. How are you thinking about INCLUSIVITY in anatomy education? @AnatomyDEI #Anatomy20

@allison_nesbitt Yes, good for surface anatomy, could be even more inclusive in its images! @allison_nesbitt #Anatomy20 #AnatomyDEI

@ToppK At #Mizzou we use Clinically Oriented Anatomy. It’s a hefty book but I like the 🟦.

Q2 The top textbooks used in teaching surface anatomy were Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Trail Guide to the Body, and Palpation Techniques Surface Anatomy for PTs. What resource(s) do YOU use and why? #AnatomyDEI #Anatomy20

@SmartMbagwu @lamsciworld Yes! thanks, Smart! @SmartMbagwu

@ToppK @lamsciworld Or a self demonstration depending on the region of the body being taught

Okay, all, I know Q1 is hard! How can we teach surface anatomy remotely? #Anatomy20 #AnatomyDEI

Q3 Textbook images are often of persons who appear similar in ethnicity, sex, age and body shape. What opportunities for DIVERSITY and INCLUSION are missed in our resources? #AnatomyDEI #Anatomy20
