The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has, this week, launched a new Online Veterinary Anatomy Museum (OVAM).
The museum, is one of the world’s largest online veterinary anatomical resource collections designed to inspire learners everywhere to engage with animal anatomy and science in an interactive and informative way.
The Online Veterinary Museum includes:
- 3D imaging of skeletons, radiographic imaging and interpretation
- Interactive and annotated diagrams and images of specimens
- Podcasts and potcasts of anatomical specimens
Led by a small team based at the RVC, the project involved all seven of the UK’s vet schools as well as international institutions, educational trusts, commercial publishers and web developers.
Project Director Nick Short said: “The online museum will help to bring the world of veterinary anatomy alive for anybody with an interest in knowing more about animal’s structure and function. OVAM provides access to some of the most amazing virtual resources contributed from all over the world. Here you can explore the 3D anatomy of a horse’s foot from London, view beautiful animations of the abdomen of a pig from Spain or watch a selection of lectures from India!”
