This article discusses factors in the design, commissioning, project management, and intellectual property protection of developments within a new clinical anatomy facility in the United Kingdom. The project was aimed at creating cost-effective facilities that would address widespread concerns over anatomy teaching, and support other activities central to the university mission-namely research and community interaction. The new facilities comprise an engaging learning environment and were designed to support a range of pedagogies appropriate to the needs of healthcare professionals at different stages of their careers. Specific innovations include integrated workstations each comprising of a dissection table, with removable top sections, an overhead operating light, and ceiling-mounted camera. The tables incorporate waterproof touch-screen monitors to display images from the camera, an endoscope or a database of images, videos, and tutorials. The screens work independently so that instructors can run different teaching sessions simultaneously and students can progress at different speeds to suit themselves. Further, database access is provided from within an integrated anatomy and pathology museum and display units dedicated to the correlation of cross-sectional anatomy with medical imaging. A new functional neuroanatomy modeling system, called the BrainTower, has been developed to aid integration of anatomy with physiology and clinical neurology. Many aspects of the new facility are reproduced within a Mobile Teaching Unit, which can be driven to hospitals, colleges, and schools to provide appropriate work-based education and community interaction.
本文讨论了英国一个新的临床解剖设施开发项目在设计、调试、项目管理和知识产权保护方面的因素。该项目旨在创建具有成本效益的设施，以解决对解剖学教学的广泛担忧，并支持大学使命核心的其他活动，即研究和社区互动。新设施包括一个引人入胜的学习环境，旨在支持一系列适合不同职业阶段医疗专业人员需求的教学方法。具体创新包括集成工作站，每个工作站都包括一个解剖台，其顶部可拆卸，还有一个头顶手术灯和天花板安装的摄像头。这些桌子配备了防水触摸屏显示器，用于显示来自摄像头、内窥镜或图像、视频和教程数据库的图像。屏幕可独立工作，以便教师可以同时进行不同的教学课程，学生可以以不同速度自主学习。此外，在一个综合解剖学和病理学博物馆以及专门用于横断面解剖与医学成像关联的展示单元内提供数据库访问。一种名为“BrainTower”的新型功能性神经解剖学建模系统已被开发出来，以帮助解剖学与生理学和临床神经学的整合。新设施的许多方面在一个移动教学单元中得以重现，该单元可以开到医院、学院和学校，以提供合适的基于工作的教育和社区互动。
