The second installment of the Rural Anatomy Broadcast (RAB) will take place on January 30 at 12 noon Pacific Time.

This rural and Indigenous focused project will connect the Gross Anatomy Lab to rural BC and learners and practitioners across the province.

Participants in the virtual broadcast will be able to learn from Dr. Hesham Saïd from Hazelton who will talk about pediatric intubation, as well as team members from UBC’s Gross Anatomy Lab.

The RAB is a pilot project that is testing the implementation of live, interactive, collaborative broadcasts from the gross anatomy lab to simulate and discuss specific clinical presentations and their underlying anatomy. The broadcast will be explaining the anatomy with the bodies of donors.

The RAB strives to meet two goals: 1. to support rural clinicians with an opportunity to discuss cases (which may be high acuity low occurrence cases) and review the underlying gross anatomy; and 2. to showcase rural practice opportunities to rural students, by highlighting a rural provider and their hospital setting.

This work is integrated into the ongoing work of the Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc) and Real-Time Virtual Support (RTVS) networks, building on trust and relationships with rural and First Nations communities across BC. Partners include UBC, rural communities, RCCbc, RTVS and UNBC. This work is being carried out in collaboration with Dr. Claudia Krebs, RTVS Medical Co-lead Dr. John Pawlovich and RTVS RUDi Co-lead Dr. Matt Petrie.
