Auscultation Classroom

This feature provides students with the ability to hear an abnormal heart sound, while simultaneously watching a graphic of the intracardiac abnormality that is occurring. The students learn proper auscultation techniques for each murmur. The modules also discuss basics regarding clinical findings associated with the murmurs. This method of learning is designed to help students grasp this difficult concept and solidify their understanding. The target audience includes medical students, NP students, and PA students.

Focused Anatomy Modules

The BioDigital System Modules are live on AccessMedicine. This is a collection of hundreds of interactive, 3-D modules designed to deliver a focused learning experience while also offering a deep-dive into our core foundational textbooks.

Harrison's Pathophysiology Animations

Harrison's Pathophysiology Animations explain complex pathophysiology concepts in new and beautifully animated, easy-to-understand brief videos. Each episode covers a disease mechanism. Running time of each is a student-friendly 4-8 minutes. Nationally regarded educator Scott Stern, MD, from the University of Chicago wrote and narrated each episode, giving our series authenticity often lacking in other medical animations.

Human Anatomy Tours & Quizzes

These focused, 3-D modules guide medical students through systems-based tours of the human anatomy, helping them to learn human anatomy in a systems-based, interactive format. Launching with 7 modules/tours, additional modules/tours will continue to be added to the collection throughout the year. A number of enhancements have been made to existing modules to make them more dynamic. For example, the Endocrine System tour now demonstrates thyroid hormone release.
Each module features roughly 7-10 slides.

Regional Anatomy Modules

The BioDigital System Modules are live on AccessMedicine.  This is a collection of hundreds of interactive, 3-D modules designed to deliver a focused learning experience while also offering a deep-dive into our core foundational textbooks.
