"Anatomy.tv is a great tool for our dental hygiene students to study head and neck anatomy. It is especially useful for our online students who don't have the benefit of visual learning in the onsite classroom setting. Head and neck anatomy – bones, muscles, nerves, arteries, etc are tough to visualize and this tool definitely aids the visual learner. I like the layering capability to allow students to study and review selected areas and then 'put it all together' for an overall impression. Another good piece of teaching technology to place in our toolkit. Thanks!"

-- Lisa, Department Head - Dental Hygiene Program, Community College

"You will not find a comparable degree of versatility, depth, richness of content or pure good looks."

-- R. Armstrong, MD

"Anatomy.tv is a great resource during A&P I and II. Especially for visual learners, it is a great tool to be used as an additional technique to study for exams."

-- Gina, Nursing Student, Colby Sawyer College

"We've had Anatomy.tv for a while now and every time I use it I am amazed by how detailed it is. One of my favorite features is the ability in the MRI area to click on a structure and have it highlighted on the actual MRI. I also love the videos, especially the shoulder rotation one."

-- Melanie Belliveau, Library Technician, Health Information Network Calgary, Rockyview Hospital Knowledge Centre

"Really exciting- haven't had this kind of interactive fun since playing "Operation" as a kid. I could see this as useful aid in student presentations, called my co-workers in to try it out as well and everyone including sonographer, mammo tech, OB/GYN, and LPN studying to become RN loved it."

-- Diane Primavera, Catskill Regional Medical Center
