Abstract

At Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, under the direction of Susanne Wish-Baratz PhD, a team of anatomists, physicians, programmers, and digital artists developed a mixed reality application for teaching anatomy and neuroanatomy to medical students with holograms.  After studies confirmed that equivalent learning could be achieved using this methodology, it was integrated into the medical anatomy curriculum.

This application has been coupled with traditional modalities and clinical skills to bring anatomy to life for first- and second-year medical students.  Students learn anatomy via holograms while working in small groups.  Other disciplines are now developing applications to communicate complex 3D topics to their students.  Dr. Wish-Baratz will describe the process of modernizing a medical anatomy curriculum as a case-in-point of how twenty-first century technologies can supplement and enhance educational processes.
