Anatomy Warehouse Webinar Episode 3: Erler Zimmer 3D Printed Models Liz: Hello and welcome to another episode of the Hands-on Lab here at Anatomy Warehouse. I am thrilled that you are joining us today because we've got a deeply fascinating session ahead, putting a spotlight on anatomical models that are leveling up how we teach human anatomy. In our last episode, we walked through Alex Gen AI from NASCO Healthcare, an AI-powered assistant simulation trainer pushing the limits of immersive edu …

Derived from the Greek words ἀνατομή anatomē (“to cut open”), anatomy is medicine’s oldest scientific discipline. Central to its teaching are anatomical models – three-dimensional representations of the human body or its parts, created to help visualize structures that are difficult to study in living subjects. For centuries, anatomical models have shaped how we study the body, evolving from handcrafted antique anatomical models to today’s te …

Ask any medical student to name the most challenging systems to study, and chances are the renal system is at the top of their list. Between memorizing nephron anatomy, understanding glomerulus function, and connecting renal physiology to patient care, learning about kidneys can feel like trying to assemble furniture without instructions­ – confusing and occasionally rage-inducing. The good news? It doesn’t have to be. The problem isn’t just that the kidney is complex (thou …

From classrooms to clinics, few teaching tools spark curiosity like a human skeleton. Whether you’re prepping for your first anatomy lab, refreshing clinical knowledge, or explaining a diagnosis to a patient, a clear grasp of skeletal basics pays off. Move from curiosity to confidence by checking out our answers to these frequently asked skeleton questions. How Many Bones Are in the Human Skeleton? Adults typically have 206 bones – the standardized count used in education and medici …

Medical simulation has reshaped how educators teach and how clinicians train. In a controlled, zero-risk setting, learners can miss a dose, misread a rhythm, or struggle with a procedure – and then rewind, debrief, and try again. That loop is why well-built medical simulation scenarios outperform passive lectures for building judgment, dexterity, and team communication, primarily when programs draw on evidence-based frameworks and open-access scenario libraries. Why Medical Simulation Scen …
