Clinical Anatomy Education Award
In fall of 2018 the American Association of Clinical Anatomists developed several awards in an effort for the Association to recognize members who are making significant research contributions to the Anatomy field and foster an atmosphere of support which will generate strong future research contributions. These awards are for oral and poster presentations during the AACA annual meeting.
The winners will be selected by the AACA Council. The best oral and best poster presentations will be recognized in Clinical Anatomy Education.
