Every Concorde anatomy & physiology student can now access to Anatomy & Physiology Online, an interactive, 3D, digital learning tool developed by Primal Pictures. Anatomy & Physiology Online offers virtual, 3D access to every part of the human body, with 3D, adjustable images, interactive models, and narrated animations.

We are excited to be among the first career colleges to offer this innovative learning tool that can transform and enhance our students understanding of human anatomy, says Pat Debold, Vice President of Academic Affairs at Concorde. A deep and foundational understanding of the human body is critical to all of our students, and 3D, virtual learning will better prepare them to work as health professionals.

Todays students are often more comfortable with online learning, and many independently seek interactive learning tools for complex, visual topics such as human anatomy, said Laurie Wiseman, Founder and Publishing Director for Primal Pictures. Concorde is a step ahead in meeting student learning needs, and we are happy to partner with them on this innovative shift in teaching and learning.

Primal Pictures developed its 3D models using real medical scan data to create a highly detailed model. Anatomy & Physiology Online offers 3D anatomy that can be peeled away, rotated and labelled, along with narrated animations of physiology, learning objectives, self-testing, summary text, and pronunciation guides. It includes hundreds of lab activities to be performed by the student as they learn, ranging from labelling exercises to online quizzing and coloring pages.

Textbooks are wordy and cumbersome for learning A&P, says Mark Holcomb, Curriculum Development Specialist at Concorde. Primal offers us an innovative way to engage students. Anatomy &Physiology Online will enliven the classroom, and give students a unique understanding of anatomy. Best of all, we will transform the way we provide lab activities on our campuses. Going digital in A&P is the way ahead, we believe.

Students using the resource agree.

If we didnt have Primal, we would be learning from books: flat, 2D, boring, says Amy Cangelosi, a Dental Hygiene Student at Concorde. This makes a huge difference to how I can learn and study anatomy.
