Technician Meeting

Technical Staff/Coordinators:

We are thrilled to be able to include our amazing support staff (admins, technicians and donation coordinators) to this meeting! Teaching in a lab is not possible without these essential colleagues and look forward to incorporating their perspectives into our discussions. Given their unique role, we are planning a side-meeting to support discussions related to challenges, successes and future directions for technical processes. A tour of the Division of Anatomy's facilities, Museum, and Plastination lab will be included.

CCAE Meeting

The CARE Conference provides a platform to introduce a new initiative: The Canadian Collaborative of Anatomical Educators.

In brief, the aim of this organization is to bring together anatomists across canada in membership, to advance excellence in anatomical education by fostering collaboration, innovation and professional growth mong educators, researchers and students.

We invite educators to join this session to learn more about how CCAE membership will create a national network and highlight our main initiatives aimed at addressing unique challenges to anatomy programs as well as enhancing sharing resources, developing leadership and strategic support to our faculty and staff.

A highlight of this session, will be an expert panel discussion introducing our first initiative....

"Vision and Priorities for a Nation-wide Approach to Managing our Legacy Collections" which may be of interest to many.
