Want practical tips on how to get that #SoTL research program thriving as a teaching-stream faculty member?

Check out the latest blog from the @AnatomyOrg. My (biased) opinion is that it's worth the 4min read! https://t.co/p8vCVXPMOD

Serving as a #SoTL research mentor is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding aspects of my work

Congrats to Sam Nacci on receiving the 💥 Education Research Platform Award 💥 from @AnatomyOrg at the #AnatomyConnected24 conference. https://t.co/gQBV5lwrvT

My term on the @STLHESAPES board of directors may be over, but I know I will continue to collaborate with these innovative educators for years to come!

I look forward to seeing what our new chair, @DrPatMaher, is able to bring forward with the backing of so many new members. 👏

[Pat Maher, PhD | 🇨🇦 @DrPatMaher]

But also - thank you to the departing Board members: Laura, Scott, Ana-Marija, Danielle, Bruce, Joanne, and Elana. Your service to @STLHESAPES is much appreciated. Volunteers help the society function.

My vote for best poster thus far at the #TemertyResearchShowcase2024? 👇

Fascinating topic, thoughtful research design, and excellent communication directed at the non-specialist (perfect for this #EducationResearcher)

Thank you Aamir for sharing your work in🧬 +🐁 + 🦓🐟

@UofT_TFMRS @uoftmedicine @UofT Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the most severe chronic pain syndromes. Soon-to-be Dr. Timur Latypov found that a #MachineLearning model can be used to analyze brain scans of #MultipleSclerosis patients to detect objective signatures of chronic pain.

Dr. Muhammad Mamdani, Director of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education in Medicine (@UofT_TCAIREM), reminds us how ideally situated @UofT is – ranked 9th in the world (1st in 🇨🇦) by @timeshighered '24 in both 1) clinical and health, and 2) education.

[Danielle Bentley, PhD @DBentleyPhD]

Today was a beautiful day of remembrance in honour of those who generously donate their body to education at @UofT.
We are forever grateful for your gift and honoured to learn from you.
Thank you🌹

At the risk of sounding a bit hyperbolic, today was THE BEST!!

✅ exploring rare anatomy books
✅ touring Grant’s museum
✅ learning about Grant’s Atlas illustrations
✅ buying new @lightandpaper goodies
✅ reuniting with my favourite people

Bring on Day 2! #anatomy24

[Danielle Bentley, PhD @DBentleyPhD]

Welcome to #Toronto @AnatomyOrg !!

Hope you all brought mitts and toques 🇨🇦 ❄️ along with your (metaphorical) 🧠s and 🫀s

[Danielle Bentley, PhD @DBentleyPhD]

Last year, I shared this pic and my DMs went crazy.
My fellow #anatomy 📖lovers wanted their own chance to explore these historic texts.

So…we made it happen!
Today, the @Fisher_Library will be stop #1 for x3 (sold out!) workshops.

Can’t wait to start #Anatomy24 w @AnatomyOrg!

[Danielle Bentley, PhD @DBentleyPhD]

It was field trip day in my #ANA400 undergraduate dissection class - and it was remarkable

Very fortunate have turned these pages from #MedicalHistory 📖
