Save the Date! Slice of Life and IAMSE Conferences
The Slice of Life Workshop is coming up June 26-30, 2007, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Slice of Life attracts a small unique group of multimedia educators and developers who gather each year to explore and share ideas about using technology in health science education. See http://slice.utah.edu/2007/ for more information.
The International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) 11th Annual Conference is coming up July 21-24, 2007, in Cleveland, Ohio. The event will explore strategies for teaching and learning the fundamental sciences of medicine, with particular focus on the preclinical curriculum. Submissions will be accepted until March 15, 2007. See http://www.iamseconference.org/ for more information.
The HEAL team will be attending both conferences and we look forward to meeting you there! posted by Sharon at 12:50 PM 0 comments

Watch for the HEAL Survey
In order to ensure that HEAL is meeting your needs, we will be conducting an online survey in February. Watch for announcements to participate in the survey. The survey data will be compared with a similar survey conducted by the HEAL team in 2003, and results will be shared with the HEAL community. posted by Sharon at 12:48 PM 0 comments

Upcoming New Collections
Upcoming New Collections
New collections will be available in HEAL soon:
The Neurological Teaching Videos collection from Wright State University provides health science educators with free access to QuickTime videos of physical signs of neurologic disease along with clinical data and neuroimaging studies about the disease. The collection consists of 462 videos.
The Poja Histology Collection from Dr. Lambert G. Poels and Dr. Paul Jap consists of high quality images from over forty years worth of slides created by members of the UMC-St. Radboud Faculty of Medicine and colleagues involved in collaborative clinical research projects. The best images were integrated into computer assisted training programs to support basic histology, microscopic anatomy, and cell biology instruction. The first subset focused on structures within the oral cavity, and is available at http://www.healcentral.org/healapp/searchResults?publicationId=363&page=1 . The second subset, consisting of 140 images, is dedicated to the histology, immunohistology and electron microscopy of the Respiratory System; it will be available soon. posted by Sharon at 12:39 PM 0 comments
