International regular members receive the same benefits as regular members in the US and Canada.

What You Get!

The commitment of HAPS members to quality teaching has led HAPS to undertake a number of projects including:

• The publication of the  HAPS-EDucator, which is published four times per year. Articles cover various topics important to A&P instructors, including national trends in education and teaching tips.
• Free online access to Anatomical Sciences Education (ASE), a Medline-indexed journal  that publishes articles related to all levels of anatomical sciences education including undergraduate, allied health, medical (both allopathic and osteopathic), dental, graduate and post-graduate programs, and covers the major disciplines of the anatomical sciences
•  HAPS Institute (HAPS-I) courses, a professional continuing education program, offers short graduate biology courses in a variety of flexible formats for those teaching human anatomy and physiology.  Credit is granted through University of Washington (Seattle).  Courses include topics that are often considered to be hard to understand, hard to learn, and hard to teach.  Some courses help clarify difficult physiological concepts and others use cadavers to review and explore human anatomy.
• Human Anatomy & Physiology Society Position Statements on Animal Use, Cadaver Use, and Distance Education
• Development of a comprehensive anatomy and physiology exam, which is in its second generation and currently being further revised
• A second edition of Course Guidelines for Undergraduate Instruction of Human Anatomy and Physiology
• A grant and scholarship program for anatomy and physiology students and instructors
• An ambitious project to develop learning outcomes for all content areas in anatomy and physiology
• Development of a comprehensive safety manual dealing with all aspects of the A&P lab experience
• Participation (with a number of other professional societies) in the BiosciEdNet project, which aims to make teaching and learning resources in all sciences available to educators via the Internet
• Many useful resources are found on our 'Members' Only' Web site, such as our 'A&P Software List', 'A&P Data Acquisiton Equipment' page, and our 'How to Build a Cadaver Lab' page.

The annual HAPS national conference, local and regional conferences, HAPS-Institute courses and the HAPS EDucator provide members with an important means of updating their knowledge, improving technical and pedagogical skills, investigating new technologies for the laboratory and classroom, and, perhaps most importantly, networking with a growing international contingent of peers.
