Anatomy for EM

AFEM Blog Header

I spent a few years teaching anatomy here for a living. It wasn’t EM but it was a lot of fun.

Seeing as so much of what we do is diagnosis based so having a good grasp on where the bits of the body are and how they work (OK so i know that’s sneaking towards physiology…) is key to what we do.

The increasing use of radiology and in particular ultrasound means we need to be the bees-knees at the anatomy.

If you can’t tell trapezoid from your trapezius or the difference between spondylolysis and spondylosis and spondylolisthesis then here’s an example of one of the videos.

For non iTunes users, try this page for the RSS feed. You can also see a full collection here on Vimeo

Feel free to download, reuse and do send the videos on to anyone you know might be interested. All I ask is that you acknowledge where you got them from and don’t try to make lots of money off them by putting them behind a pay wall

The music from the intro is my own and can be found here

I enjoy making them but they take up a huge amount of time. I did previously have a donate button and some very kind people were supportive but I’m in a position to cover the costs myself now so have removed it.

There are lots of ways of making screencasts but I use Keynote for the slides and Screenflow for the recording (both on Mac). If you want access to the original Keynote presentations/images send me an email.
