Interleaving sectional anatomy reviews, applications, and activities throughout the A&P course helps nudge students to a higher level of cognition. At least Kevin thinks so. Here are some thoughts on helping students build their conceptual framework of human anatomy and make the kinds of connections we want them to make. Who knows, one of them may be reading our brain scan some day!

Shoulders and Birth

2.5 minutes

In the story of the human body we tell in our A&P course, we may emphasize the practical issues of squeezing the large head of the fetus through the birth canal during labor and delivery. And we may mention the wide shoulders, too. A new study shows that human shoulder development is delayed (compared to other primates) until after birth. Wow.

"Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report written on birds that he'd had three months to write, which was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books about birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, "Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird." (Anne Lamott)

One approach to making histology more interesting—and perhaps easier—is to share and teach our expert eye. As when learning to identify animals such as birds from an expert.

In this episode, host Kevin Patton asks, how do we handle the trepidation we experience when we are flooded with uncertainty after an intense learning experience?

"The process of leniency involves accepting the reality of the current situation and finding a satisfying meaning therein, as opposed to misconstruing or denying the facts of the situation." (Sandra L. Schneider)

Trepidation After New Learning

4 minutes

You know that feeling of trepidation we get after a conference, course, or other intense learning experience? Where we feel uncertainty about whether we'll ever be able to retrieve it again and apply it. No worries. Let's talk that through.

Transparency About Models, Analogies, and Color Codes

As experts in science, we are already comfortable using models, analogies, and color codes. But some of our students may not have that familiarity and comfort. Maybe transparency about these tools at the beginning of the A&P course can help students get traction in our course.

Leniency With Deadlines

3. Inclusive Syllabus

4 minutes

Are there opportunities in our syllabus to be more inclusive?

4. Use Inclusive Language

4.5 minutes

Our language is evolving to be more inclusive—both in science and in society at large. Keeping up with and using inclusive language makes our course more inclusive.

The Master of Science in Human Anatomy & Physiology Instruction—the MS-HAPI—is a graduate program for A&P teachers, especially for those who already have a graduate/professional degree. A combination of science courses (enough to qualify you to teach at the college level) and courses in contemporary instructional practice, this program helps you be your best in both on-campus and remote teaching. Kevin Patton is a faculty member in this program at Northeast College of Health Sciences. Check it out!

5. Gender Pronouns

2.5 minutes

Using our preferred gender pronouns invites students to be their authentic selves in our course.

6. Use Preferred Names

6.5 minutes

Using a student's preferred name—not necessarily the one on the roster and not necessarily the version we can pronounce more easily—values a student's personal identity and therefore improves inclusion in our course. Preferred pronunciation of their name is important, too.

May this be the day We come together.

Mourning, we come to mend, Withered, we come to weather,

Torn, we come to tend, Battered, we come to better.

Tethered by this year of yearning, We are learning That though we weren't ready for this, We have been readied by it.

Steadily we vow that no matter How we are weighed down, We must always pave a way forward.

(Amanda Gorman)
