Director of Gross Anatomy
Teaching
- Instructor in Fundamentals of Body Design

Administration
- Oversight of the Body Donation Program
- Supervision of staff in the Gross Anatomy Lab
- Review of all applications for the use of anatomical material in education and research
Co-Chair of the Brain and Behaviour block (FMED 426)
The Brain and Behaviour block is the longest block in the MD Undergraduate curriculum; it is 9 weeks long and covers the basic science underlying both neurology and psychiatry. I co-chair the block together with Dr. Jehannine Austin from the Department of Psychiatry. During this block I teach all neuroanatomy labs. Inspired by these labs I have developed a neuroanatomy website (www.neuroanatomy.ca) that contains a comprehensive web atlas, quizzes and a video library of 3D animations of deep brain structures.
Residency Training
Many residents come through our anatomy facility to review the anatomy relevant in their specific field. I have taught residents from the radiology, surgery and obstetrics/gynecology programmes in the gross anatomy lab. I also give presentations to neuropsychiatry residents to review the neuroanatomy with them. |
