development of student education. The extensive experience she has gained, her international networking and her interest in tailoring teaching and research have equipped her with the necessary skills.

Dr. Priti L. Mishall, MD, MBBS, PGCertME, is Associate Professor in the Departments of Pathology & Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. She is a medical educator with expertise in human anatomy, embryology, histology, and neuroanatomy. She teaches anatomy to learners in Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) and Graduate Medical Education (GME). For the UME, she Co-Directs the Anatomy course for the first-year MD program and also Directs the Anatomy course for the MSTP program. She is the Director of the Anatomical Donation Program and is a course faculty member for the second-year Nervous System and Human Behavior course. She is a small group facilitator for the Problem-Based Learning sessions in Pre-clerkship and Transition to Clerkship. Dr. Mishall mentors medical students interested in pursuing projects on creating and evaluating anatomy education learning resources. In the area of GME, she conducts workshops for residents and fellows revisiting cadaver anatomy labs. Her clinical collaborators include Departments of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and Rheumatology. She is passionate about participating in faculty development initiatives and is a course faculty at Harvard Macy Institutes' course "Transforming your teaching for the Virtual Environment." She is an active member of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists (AACA) and International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE). She served as the chair of the Education Affairs Committee of AACA and is the member of AACA's Career Development Committee. At Einstein, she implemented various e-learning instructional methods including flipped classrooms, blended and online learning to promote learner interactivity and engagement with the content. Additionally, she has expertise in designing and implementing prosection-based anatomy course for preclerkship curriculas. She is a recipient of two teaching awards at Einstein: the Samuel M. Rosen Award for Outstanding Teaching (Pre-Clerkship) and the Harry Eagle Award for Outstanding Teaching (Pre-Clerkship) in recognition for excellence in teaching by students and by peers, respectively.





Dr. Haley L. Nation, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cell Systems and Anatomy at UT Health San Antonio. She is a classically trained Anatomist who teaches various basic science disciplines to future health care professionals, including gross anatomy, histology, neuroanatomy, and embryology. Dr Nation teaches Medical, Dental, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant, Occupational Therapy, and Masters of Anatomy students. She is committed to providing a high quality of education to her students as well as various residents and practicing dentists seeking continuing education. She is invested in the success of the programs she teaches in and the wider academic missions as a whole; she serves on admissions, curriculum, and strategic planning committees and partakes in leadership programs. To help serve the greater anatomical community, she is involved in professional associations and serves on the American Association of Clinical Anatomists (AACA) Educational Affairs Committee (EAC) and Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (CDEI). In addition to her educational and service commitments, she also has a particular interest in mentoring graduate students in research projects involving anatomical variations and the creation of new educational tools. Throughout her career she has been devoted to her students, institution, and anatomical community.





Prof. Paul M. Rea Paul is Professor of Digital and Anatomical Education at the University of Glasgow. He is Director of Innovation, Engagement and Enterprise within the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing. He is also a Senate Assessor for Student Conduct, Council Member on Senate and coordinates the day-to-day running of the Body Donor Program and is a Licensed Teacher of Anatomy, licensed by the Scottish Parliament.



He is qualified with a medical degree (MBChB), a MSc (by research) in craniofacial anatomy/surgery, a PhD in neuroscience, the Diploma in Forensic Medical Science (DipFMS), and an MEd with Merit (Learning and Teaching in Higher Education). He is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Fellow of the Institute of Medical Illustrators (FIMI).

Paul has published widely and presented at many national and international meetings, including invited talks. He has been the lead Editor for Biomedical Visualisation over 12 published volumes and is the founding editor for this book series. This has resulted in almost 90,000 downloads across these volumes, with approximately 400 different authors, across approximately 100 institutions from 19 countries across the globe. He is Associate Editor for the European Journal of Anatomy and has reviewed for 25 different journals/publishers. He is the Public Engagement and Outreach lead for anatomy coordinating collaborative projects with the Glasgow Science Centre, NHS and Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. Paul is also a STEM ambassador and has visited numerous schools to undertake outreach work.





His research involves a long-standing strategic partnership with the School of Simulation and Visualisation The Glasgow School of Art. This has led to multi-million pound investment in creating world leading 3D digital datasets to be used in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching to enhance learning and assessment. This successful collaboration resulted in the creation of the worlds first taught¿MSc Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy¿combining anatomy and digital technologies. The Institute of Medical Illustrators also accredits it. It has created college-wide, industry, multi-institutional and NHS research linked projects for students.
