Dr. Tim Wilson

Biography

Dr. Tim Wilson Associate Professor Department of Medicine. I have the pleasure to facilitate the education of a wide range of students in gross anatomy. From undergraduate students in Kinesiology, graduate students in Clinical Anatomy, Occupational Therapy, and Physiotherapy to Dental students, each class presents its own persona, breadth of experiences, and indeed challenges. My goal is to create a learning community regardless of class size where each student is empowered to learn the materials in their own way. I incorporate participation technology and blended learning approaches whenever possible and the gross cadaveric laboratory remains a central tenant to our learning approach. I maintain that I learn more than I teach on a daily basis.

Research Interest

1.) To develop de novo digital anatomical learning objects from human and animal volumetric data derived from CT, MR, and serial slice photography. 2) To evaluate the digital learning objects as it pertains to the study education practices and the effects on learner behaviour and physiological responses. 3) To advance the knowledge base concerning human perception, training and education creating models for future pedagogic practice as educational environments incorporate new technologies.
