Who Should Attend: Anyone interested in exploring ways that the Virtual Human (VH) application can be used to create material for gross anatomy curriculum or wanting to learn to create their own 3-D renderings and animations.

Synopsis: It is possible to manipulate and customize any combination of the more than 1400 anatomical structures identified in the Visible Human Male for student use, lectures, presentations, Intranet sites and papers. Learn to use the software and understand its capabilities so you can supplement a gross anatomy lab or describe a surgical approach. VH is the first truly 3-D software designed for you to select the organs and structures you want to "animate". Using the Virtual Human can help students see anatomical shapes and relationships in a different way. The software is available to attendees of the pre-workshop for half price; $100 for the Atlas version (normally $195) and $625 for the Studio version (normally $1250).
