OVAM Launch

Last week the Online Veterinary Anatomy Museum (OVAM) launch took place in the Lightwell area of the Royal Veterinary College's (RVC) Camden campus in London. Almost a hundred people attended the event ranging from academics to members of the press and students some having travelled over especially from other countries. The evening provided a fascinating insight into the teaching of veterinary anatomy and how it has evolved with presentations by project director Nick Short, senior anatomist Dr. Raymond Macharia and vice-principal of teaching and learning Professor Stephen May of the RVC alongside the special guest - vet and TV presenter Mark Evans. As well as a chance to view some of the key resources which are part of the museum and the innovative Sectra visualisation table

The OVAM website is now live and for those who have not yet had a chance to view the site you can take a look at www.onlineveterinaryanatomy.net. The site is still a work in progress - we hope that it will constantly evolve as new material is produced and contributed to the museum. So please continue to revisit the site, encourage your colleagues and peers to access it and don't hesitate to get in touch with the OVAM team if you would like to contribute something more to the site.
