Background Three-dimensional digital anatomy applications can provide a powerful supplement to more traditional learning modalities. The challenge for medical libraries and educators is to select an app that best supports anatomical learning objectives and then effectively integrate it into health sciences curricula. App selection is particularly important when traditional learning modalities, such as cadaver dissection, are not feasible. Selection was a challenge at the authors’ university, as the doctor of physical therapy (DPT) program expanded into a hybrid online environment. Case Presentation Reported here are our: (1) analysis and identification of an anatomy app to supplement cadaver lab instruction for DPT students who were enrolled in a hybrid program, where the majority of instruction took place online; (2) description of the implementation process; and (3) discussion of student feedback and the library’s perspective. Features and shortcomings of two anatomy apps, Complete Anatomy (CA) 2019 by 3D4 Medical and Human Anatomy Atlas (HAA) 2019 by Visible Body, were reviewed. CA was selected based on smoother navigation, visually appealing graphics, and user customization tools. The library purchased 1,000 CA redemption codes as a pilot program. Video recordings and live demonstrations of the app were used for instruction. Student feedback indicated extensive use. Based on success of the pilot, the library will purchase additional licenses. Conclusions Medical libraries can use our experience as an example to help select anatomy resources that would be useful when considering the conversion of health sciences programs into online environments and further guide app integration to supplement other anatomical models.

物理治疗混合在线课程的解剖学应用案例报告

背景 三维数字解剖学应用程序可以为更传统的学习方式提供强大的补充。医学图书馆和教育工作者面临的挑战是选择最能支持解剖学学习目标的应用程序，然后将其有效地整合到健康科学课程中。当传统的学习方式（例如尸体解剖）不可行时，应用程序的选择尤为重要。选择是作者所在大学的一项挑战，因为物理治疗博士 (DPT) 计划扩展到混合在线环境。此处报告的案例介绍是我们的：（1）分析和识别解剖应用程序，以补充参加混合计划的 DPT 学生的尸体实验室教学，其中大部分教学都在网上进行；（二）实施过程说明；(3) 讨论学生反馈和图书馆的观点。审查了两个解剖应用程序的特点和缺点，3D4 Medical 的 Complete Anatomy (CA) 2019 和 Visible Body 的 Human Anatomy Atlas (HAA) 2019。CA 的选择是基于更流畅的导航、视觉上吸引人的图形和用户定制工具。该图书馆购买了 1,000 个 CA 兑换代码作为试点计划。该应用程序的视频录制和现场演示用于指导。学生反馈表明广泛使用。基于试点的成功，图书馆将购买额外的许可证。
