A 2018 study in the Journal of Medical Education and Curricular Development found that less than 5% of images in general medical texts included dark skin tones. The release of Complete Anatomy 2023 delivers the next step in Elsevier’s commitment to increasing diversity and inclusion in medical education and comes on the heels of the company’s release last year of the world’s most advanced 3D full female anatomy model, breaking a centuries-long pattern of male-dominated teaching models.įor hundreds of years, light-skinned bodies have dominated anatomy learning, underscoring the lack of racial representation in global teaching materials.
