Anatomical Excellence
This page has been established as a means for Advanced Anatomical Services (AAS) to acknowledge individuals who have excelled in areas of anatomical teaching, research and dissection or who have provided other invaluable assistance to AAS or its associates. In many cases, this amounts to showing appreciation for those who have worked tirelessly and selflessly to enhance the learning of their students or colleagues in the anatomical sciences. In other instances, it represents a show of respect and support for those who have toiled long and hard in their offices and laboratories and have achieved miraculous results because of it. Finally, it represents an expression of gratitude to those who have given their time and imparted their wisdom to help AAS improve its services and become more effective in its mission to help others achieve their professional goals. It is the combined effort of all of these individuals that allows us to develop an atmosphere of anatomical excellence. |

Winners
of the 2011 AAS Two graduate level students at Ohio University and three resident physicians at Doctors Hospital have received Master of Dissection Awards this past year. These awards are sponsored by the AAS Department of Scientific Services and are presented to individuals who have achieved a high level of excellence in the area of anatomical dissection and have used their skills to enhance the learning of students or colleagues participating in their academic programs. The two most recent recipients of the AAS Master of Dissection Award were Dr. B. Collier Watson, a second year resident in orthopaedic surgery at Doctors Hospital and Dr. John D. Idoine, III, a fourth year resident in orthopaedic surgery at Doctors Hospital. These two highly skilled surgeons received the award together for their combined effort in performing a series of outstanding clinical dissections of the leg and knee joint. The third award in this category went to Ms. Jillian S. Davis, a third year graduate student in biomedical and biological sciences at Ohio University, who received it for numerous exquisite neurovascular prosections she created to help educate students enrolled in the first and second year anatomical dissection courses. Mr. Curtis Watkins, a second year doctoral student in physical therapy at Ohio University, also received the award for consistently performing exceptional dissections of the head, neck, abdomen and pelvic regions, and for assisting other students in his program with their own anatomical dissections. The fifth award recipient this past year was Dr. Keshav Deshpande, a second year resident in general surgery at Doctors Hospital, who was recognized for completing a series of spectacular surgical dissections of the neck, thorax and abdomen.

These awards are sponsored by the AAS Department of Teaching Services and are presented to individuals who have achieved a high level of excellence in the area of anatomical teaching and have used their skills to enhance the learning of students or colleagues partipating in their academic programs. The most recent recipient of the AAS Master of Teaching Award was Dr. Freddie D. Persinger, a second year resident in orthopaedic surgery at Doctors Hospital and a former winner of the AAS Master of Dissection Award. He received the teaching award for his expert presentation of yet another masterful clinical dissection he performed on the thigh and hip joint. Dr. Adam A. Madsen, also a second year resident in orthopaedic surgery at Doctors Hospital, received the next award in this category for his exceptional presentation of a surgical dissection he prepared for residents, interns and medical students participating in the orthopaedic clinical anatomy course. The third outstanding teacher recognized was Ms. Jillian Davis, who was the first person ever to win both the Master of Teaching Award and the Master of Dissection Award. She was voted by the student body as the best teaching associate in the DPT Anatomical Dissection I course at Ohio University. And finally, the last teaching award winner of the year was Dr. Altin Miraka, a fourth year resident in general surgery at Doctors Hospital, who received this honor for his dedication to the training of his fellow surgery residents, and for consistently helping to prepare them for their experiences in the operating room. All of these individuals have done a fantastic job and have earned the highest level of respect from their students, colleagues and instructors.

AAS Master of Teaching Award winner Dr. Altin Miraka (center) Honorable Mentions On the homefront, our very own Dr. Roger A. Dashner has recently received the Golden Goniometer Award, in recognition for excellent anatomical teaching to students in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Ohio University. This award was presented by the very grateful OU DPT Class of 2013, who declared Dr. Dashner to be the "BEST ANATOMY PROFESSOR EVER!". And as usual, they are correct in their assessments :)
OU DPT Golden Goniometer Award winner Dr. Roger Dashner A big AAS round of applause goes out to Dr. Matthew T. Smith, Dr. Joseph W. Herrmann and Dr. M. Chance Spalding who are all extremely gifted second year residents in the general surgery program at Doctors Hospital. This group worked as a team with Master of Dissection Award winner Dr. Keshav Deshpande and performed a series of absolutely phenomenal surgical dissections on a number of anatomical regions, including the neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and limbs. Collectively, this group of top-notch surgeons has produced some of the most impressive anatomical dissections ever seen in the Doctors Hospital general surgery resident training program.
Dr. Joseph Herrmann (left) and Dr. Chance Spalding (right) AAS would also like to recognize Dr. Christopher S. Blanchard, Dr. Aaron D. Boyles, Dr. Jonathan B. Hancock, Dr. Aimee J. Riley and Dr. Stephen P. Wiseman for performing a series of exceptional dissections of the back, upper and lower limbs. They then presentated this work as part of their first year training to other surgeons and medical students participating in the orthopaedic clinical anatomy course at Doctors Hospital.

DeMill, Dr. Paul B. Jacob, Dr. Lance M. Maynard, Dr. G. Alex Simpson and Master of Dissection Award winner Dr. John D. Idoine, III. Along with Dr. Roger A. Dashner, these physicians helped to present a series of excellent lectures covering surgical anatomy and orthopaedic approaches to the back, upper and lower limbs in the orthopaedic clinical anatomy course at Doctors Hospital. Finally, AAS would like to recognize Dr. Elizabeth A. Downing, Dr. Stephanie Rajchel, Dr. Corey M. Teagarden and Dr. Monica L. Wirrig, who are all first year interns in obstetrics and gynecology at Doctors Hospital. All four physicians worked together to perform and present a series of excellent clinical dissections of the female reproductive system as part of their training in the Doctors Hospital OB/GYN residency program. In the process, they helped to educate residents and medical students participating in the OB/GYN clinical anatomy course.
