(This presentation was the presidential address given by Dr. Gary Wind when he was honored by the American Association of Clinical Anatomists in June, 2007.) Clinicians and anatomists are faced with a challenge of presenting clinical anatomy to the next generation of medical professionals. The catchphrase “What you see is what you get” has two meanings: You only get as much information as the visual medium allows, and what you do “get” in the sense of understanding, you get because the presentation is predominantly visual rather than textual.

We’ve come a long way. In the last half of the 20th century we witnessed revolutionary changes in the way we visualize and medically interact with the human body. Scanning technology, minimally invasive surgery and interventional procedures have radically altered the medical educational landscape, and the pace of change is accelerating.

At the same time that our crude invasions of the body are being refined, two other negative forces are converging with the increasing need for thorough understanding of the body. Instruction in descriptive anatomy for our future care-givers has progressively dwindled as market forces have driven anatomy departments toward the cellular and molecular level in research funding. The third element creating a perfect storm crisis is the forced decrease in clinical exposure during postgraduate training.
