Anatomy education for osteopathic medical students demands immersive, effective learning experiences to train future healthcare professionals. ATSU-SOMA embraced innovation by integrating HoloAnatomy® and their custom HoloCompanion app into the anatomy curriculum. The seamless mixed reality solution facilitates active learning using case-based clinical questions and instant feedback for students. Preliminary results indicate improved comprehension, heightened engagement, and positive learning outcomes.

Dr. Anna Campbell, Chair of the Anatomy Department, and Dr. John Olson, Professor of Anatomy, will share how this integration deepens anatomy education, fostering active learning and bridges the gap between theory and real-life medical scenarios. This session will provide an understanding of how ATSU-SOMA empowers osteopathic medical students for competence and compassion in healthcare using mixed reality.
