Abstract: The workshop is designed to maximize audience participation and dialogue. The discussion is scaffolded by the prompt questions (below) with initial responses from a panel of experts from different geographical regions, and sub-disciplines of the anatomical sciences. Audience responses, views and experiences are welcomed and encouraged in this dialogue. The outcome of this session is to: • Appreciate the diverse experiences of teaching and learning in the anatomical sciences during the pandemic, and • Identify common areas that we might collaboratively share and develop practice to advance anatomical sciences education globally. Discussion questions: • What teaching strategy did you previously use for active learning that was difficult to use during the pandemic? What was the limiting factor in using that strategy during the pandemic? What solution did you use to overcome this limitation? • What is your favorite educational technology/tool for teaching anatomy? What does the use of that technology/tool promote: critical thinking, teamwork, reflection, feedback on learning, etc.? How might that learning tool be adapted to make it even more effective in the future? • Once teaching during the pandemic is behind us (and it will be) what have you learnt or adapted during the pandemic that might be useful to continue in your teaching/program/ institution? Can you share this with other anatomists? • What have you learnt from the pandemic delivery about how anatomy could be innovatively taught in the future? • What do you desire for the future of anatomy education in your region or globally? How might we as a collective group of academics collaboratively support an innovative future for anatomy education?
