List of reviewers for 2011, Volume 24

In qualitative research, the researcher’s engagement over time in participants’ daily lives entails the creation and maintenance of favourable and cooperative field relations. With this aim, it is important to build a reflexive component into the research, exploring how the researcher and researched interact with each other within the context of school and how they are challenged by political and ethical dilemmas. Drawing upon my experience while conducting an ethnographic study in an international school in mainland China, I reflected on two issues: what field relations were established in what ways, and what threads to ethics and research validity I encountered in the course of the fieldwork.

Anatomical Sciences Education Vol. 4, Issue 2, 2011 Cover Image

Anatomy and Physiology undergraduate students learn histology using live digital imaging of microscopic slides on a SMART board. The interactive live digital imaging system consists of a digital camera‐equipped microscope that projects images from glass slides on a wall‐mounted SMART board via a classroom computer. This setup allows the instructor to make real‐time annotations of key structural components of the cells and tissues. In this issue of ASE, Dr. Higazi from the Department of Biological Sciences at the Ohio University Zanesville Campus discusses the impact of interactive live digital imaging technology on students' performance in his undergraduate A&P course. The photograph (taken by Ms. Christine Shaw, Director of Public Relations at Ohio University Zanesville Campus) shows Dr. Higazi and his students discussing different epithelial cell characteristics found in the medulla of the kidney.

Drawing session from an art and anatomy workshop for medical students at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and art students at the University of Texas at San Antonio. A current trend in medical education is to integrate aspects of the humanities into the medical school curriculum. In this issue of ASE, Dr. Charleen Moore and her colleagues describe an art and anatomy workshop that uses drawing exercises to increase observational skills, to foster the development of humanistic sensitivities, and to emphasize the emotional aspects of dealing with mortality.

Medical Gross Anatomy lecture at the University of Padova, Italy. Gross Anatomy at the University of Padova is taught utilizing both traditional and technological resources, which are integrated with practical laboratory exercises (mainly on plastic models and plastinated specimens) as well as radiological anatomy. In this issue of ASE, Dr. Veronica Macchi and her colleagues from the Department of Human Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Padova discuss an innovative pilot project with their University Hospital in which they obtain body parts removed from patients during surgical procedures and utilize them for gross anatomy education. The cover photograph shows one of the co‐authors of this paper, Professor Raffaele De Caro and his students, performing dissection of the distal forearm and hand in the anatomy lecture theater at the University of Padova.
