Good day, communities!
We are wondering what other institutions are doing to innovate anatomy education. We recently removed our Anatomage tables and have been using Articulate to create interactive modules along with in-class labs / lectures and dissection / prosection. During the pandemic, we toyed with the idea of using Complete 3D Anatomy from Elsevier. We use Osmosis from Elsevier but did not end up purchasing Complete Anatomy.
I'm also a librarian, so I put my skills to work and found some fairly recent citations on this topic:

I also saw some other interesting possibilities:
Please share your innovations and also let me know if you would be willing / interested in talking with me and our UGME faculty / deans.
Thank you!
