Anatomy Video and Imagery Diversity Project

AVID is a database of freely available original images and videos that properly showcase the range of human diversity and that are of sufficient detail and quality to support excellent anatomical teaching across multiple disciplines and levels of learner expertise. We aim to better represent the diversity of people in the population by reflecting different genders, people of different skin tones, body sizes, and compositions, and to provide access to resources that are currently severely lacking in higher education. This OER is designed to support learners directly by providing a zero-cost alternative to traditionally expensive anatomical textbooks, and further to provide paid opportunities for students who are historically underrepresented in health sciences and allied health education to develop their own educational leadership and to provide opportunities for visibility and representation for these students in the anatomical sciences.
