Research summary
AI-generated

Derek Harmon's work focuses on how anatomy is taught and learned in medical and health professions education, including the use of new tools like 3D printing, virtual and augmented reality, and ultrasound-based simulation. Much of the research examines what anatomical knowledge different medical specialties (such as anesthesiology, emergency medicine, and orthopedics) consider essential, and how training curricula and technologies can improve learner confidence and skill. This research would suit students interested in medical education, anatomy curriculum design, and simulation-based training technologies.
