Revolutionary change starts in the classroom. Transform your anatomy lab into an inclusive learning environment with this groundbreaking manual that tackles one of STEM education's most overlooked barriers: the lack of diverse representation in anatomical models.

Drawing from extensive research on identity threat and promising experimental results using repainted anatomical models, this comprehensive guide provides step-by-step instructions for modifying standard models to reflect diverse skin tones, features, and characteristics. Authors Jazmine Carroll, Yosajandy Bouslog, Isabella Brown, Anacelia Galeano-Balam, Alexa Hinojosa, April Jones, Paul A. Kozak, Anna K. Leal, Ana Rojas, Jennifer Saldana, Casey Swize, Zachery Van Gorkom, and Peter Zunick combine rigorous research with practical solutions that work.

What makes this manual essential:

• Validated techniques for professional-quality model modification at a fraction of commercial costs
• Historical context addressing anatomy's colonial legacy and its impact on modern education
• Specific guidance for HBCUs, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges
• Durable modification methods that withstand repeated lab use

Perfect for anatomy lab coordinators, STEM educators, medical schools, and diversity initiatives, this manual offers more than technical instructions—it provides a pathway to decolonizing the anatomy classroom and fostering inclusive excellence in medical education.
