Though this is an excellent resource, access is limited to University of Michigan students. Only a few areas of the website are free to the public. The site includes a lab manual with videos, lectures, and picture diagrams for various dissections, but most require a Michigan login.
FULL DESCRIPTION
This resource, created by University of Michigan, features a lab manual with videos, lectures, and picture diagrams for various dissections. However, many of the links and pages are broken or require a University of Michigan login. The listed dissections provide no indication as to which are accessible to the public and which require the login. The links that are public include written content, interactive labeled pictures, and quizzes for each section. There are also lecture videos, however we were unable to evaluate these videos as they required a Michigan login.

FACULTY REQUIREMENTS
This is a comprehensive lab course in human anatomy. It is well designed and covers all the necessary topics at the required level of complexity for medical students. The lab manual, clinical cases and practice quizzes are superb and could be used to replace a gross anatomy course. The professor would only need to answer student questions and prepare actual exams. This could save a great deal of faculty time and effort.
