The "career center" and "knowledge center" sections of the website are particularly rich in resources. In the career center, visitors will find resources covering topics such as grant writing/reviewing and scientific publishing, as well as a list of graduate degree programs in anatomy and job listings. On the "teaching and training tools" page within the knowledge center, visitors have access to resources for first-time gross anatomy instructors, an education listserv (available even to non AAA members), and a number of links to anatomical sciences image libraries. Beyond those links, the website has yet another page of links to non-AAA resources. So go start exploring! For oncologists searching for clinical trials for their patients, TrialCheck is an easy-to-use website that allows users to search a database of clinical trials conducted by the National Cancer Institute, pharmaceutical companies, and other groups. The site requires a brief registration step, following which users can proceed to search the database via one of three methods. The "screen trials for a patient" option walks users through a series of questions directed at identifying specific trials for which a given patient would qualify. These questions include, for instance, queries about the type of cancer, age of patient, and location restrictions. Alternatively, users can search the trial database by protocol ID, trial title, or similar trial-specific descriptors. Finally, one can search by performance site. Straightforward and easy-to-use, TrialCheck gathers information from various organizations and sources to save physicians (and other healthcare professionals or interested parties) time. Ever wonder what hyaline arteriolosclerosis looks like? (I think I can hear the resounding "yes" from here). With the online Atlas of Pathology you can observe this condition and other pathological states via the site's (somewhat limited) collection of microscopic tissue images. The contents of the site are organized into fourteen categories such as acute inflammation, tumors, cardiovascular pathology, and hematopathology, to name a few. Under each of these categories site visitors will find a collection of pathologies (with corresponding images). The images are conveniently labeled and are accompanied by some text, as well. As noted in the site introduction, this website is not intended as a complete textbook; rather, it should be used as a supplemental resource for students of pathology. www.clinicalomics.com http://www.anatomy.org https://www.eviticlinicaltrials.com/Services https://www.eviticlinicaltrials.com/Services http://www.pathologyatlas.ro http://www.clinicalomics.com
