@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

Thanks @betabarb !

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

Keep this conversation going !

[Barbie Klein @betabarb]

Important discussions about DEI in anatomy education #Anatomy20 #AnatomyDEI We are surveying the references used to learn gross anatomy. Do you have 5 minutes to share your thoughts? Please consider participating in this IRB-approved study: https://t.co/xfdNYsDbmw

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

[Loydie @lamsciworld]

If you are not a member of AAA @AnatomyOrg, we hope that you will consider joining our association and help us to continue to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in education, research and service. #Anatomy20, #AnatomyDEI

What an outstanding idea @laurenwhale1 !!!

@ToppK @charlotte_wMHA Even though it’s minute, the human homunculus is always drawn as a white male — would love to see professors use a female homunculus!

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

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.

What has been your best resource for getting tips on moving your course online? #Anatomy20 #AnatEd

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.

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

I'm going to get this! Thanks @sattardi

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

@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.

[Prof. Gabrielle Finn @gabs_finn]

@OrganJM @ToppK @angeliquee_93 Get them all body painting at home. Simple marking using an eyeliner pencil would work. Housemates, even on themselves

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

@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!

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

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

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

oops #AnatomyDEI

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

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

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

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

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

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

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

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

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

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

[Kimberly Topp @ToppK]

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
