Fall Regional Meeting American Association of Clinical Anatomists (AACA)

Samuel Merritt University and Associate Professor Christina C. Lewis are pleased to host the 2019 Fall Regional Meeting of the AACA. The theme of this one-day conference is “Augmented Approaches for Incorporating Clinical Anatomy into Education, Research, and Informed Therapeutic Management.” The conference will focus on three approaches: the use of 3D and stereoscopic imaging, the use of a health sciences simulation center, and the use of a motion analysis research center as tools for the development and advancement of clinical anatomy in these areas.
