#tiggesanatomy OK, enough prep, tomorrow we’ll see how students do learning cross sectional anatomy. To get a preview of what we’re going to do, go to xraycomix.com, click on the M1 Anatomy page and scroll down to the cross sectional back images.

#tiggesanatomy How about a little quiz to firm up that knowledge? No problem, for a click on target quiz (which works better on a desktop), click

here.

My RSNA slides for my talk on Tuesday on the “Art of Teaching” are available

here.

#tiggesanatomy Is reading a comic too hard? Never fear, there are tons of resources on xraycomix.com. If you want to watch a video, click

#tiggesanatomy Students have to do some prep work for the cross sectional anatomy that we are going to explore. Before class they have to read the comic that you can find

here.

#tiggesanatomy The box with vertebrae is at the back of the room, natch.

#tiggesanatomy Next task, find some vertbrae for the students to hold in their hands and use to correlate with the cross sectional images. The box of vertebrae is somewhere in this room.

#tiggesanatomy Even though my main job is teaching cross sectional anatomy, I do spend some time in the cadaver lab, so my first task is to find some sturdy closed toed shoes. See, nitty-gritty stuff.

#tiggesanatomy The first dissection is “The Back”. I teach (mainly) the cross sectional anatomy, using material available on the M1 Anatomy page of xraycomix.com. There is lots of prep work to do, so let’s get started.

#tiggesanatomy I want to try a social media experiment: I am going to blog/twitter/linkedin/facebook/tumblr my experience this semester teaching M1 students human anatomy. Don’t expect poetry/Olympian insights, this will be a gritty ant’s eye look. But I made my first hashtag.

Giving RSNA talk right now re using Comics/Drawings to teach Students/Residents. Like recent grand rounds, one instance of frontal nudity (tasteful and elegant!), but no cursing (boo!).
