Technician Meeting

Technical Staff/Coordinators:

We are thrilled to be able to include our amazing support staff (admins, technicians and donation coordinators) to this meeting! Teaching in a lab is not possible without these essential colleagues and look forward to incorporating their perspectives into our discussions. Given their unique role, we are planning a side-meeting to support discussions related to challenges, successes and future directions for technical processes. A tour of the Division of Anatomy's facilities, Museum, and Plastination lab will be included.

*this meeting is for technicians, academics and faculty only*

CCAE Meeting

The CARE Conference provides a platform to introduce a new initiative: The Canadian Collaborative of Anatomical Educators.

In brief, the aim of this organization is to bring together anatomists across canada in membership, to advance excellence in anatomical education by fostering collaboration, innovation and professional growth mong educators, researchers and students.

We invite educators to join this session to learn more about how CCAE membership will create a national network and highlight our main initiatives aimed at addressing unique challenges to anatomy programs as well as enhancing sharing resources, developing leadership and strategic support to our faculty and staff.

A highlight of this session, will be an expert panel discussion introducing our first initiative....

"Vision and Priorities for a Nation-wide Approach to Managing our Legacy Collections" which may be of interest to many.

Biomedical Illustrator & Communicators Networking Salon

Posterboards are available to hang up examples of your work as well as providing a biosketch and contact or website information. You are welcome to also bring examples in digital forms (tablet, laptop). Please note that we cannot provide table space for this, so we encourage displays that lend themselves to posterboard set-ups.

Setup for the BMI Salon:

Those who have indicated they would like to participate in this opportunity are encouraged to check at the welcome desk Saturday afternoon to be assigned their board. Set-up can be completed Saturday at 3pm OR Sunday at 8am.

Biomedical Illustrator Hot Topics Session

Working together to design illustrations that populate anatomical atlases, textbooks and websites, anatomy educators and medical illustrators have a long history of collaboration and a shared interest in helping people develop a strong understanding of the structure and function of the human body. In this session, you'll learn how medical illustration has evolved, how medical illustrators are trained in Canada today, learn about current issues in medical illustration, and participate in a brief workshop where anatomists and medical illustrators will work together to generate ideas about how current anatomical communication issues might be solved.
