Educating future osteopathic physicians in anatomy presents unique challenges. Learners must master structure–function relationships foundational to osteopathic medicine and apply them in OMM and early clinical reasoning. Yet limited lab access, uneven visibility, and 2D resources can make it hard to connect what they study with how they will treat patients. To address these challenges, Duquesne University College of Osteopathic Medicine (DUQCOM) introduced HoloAnatomy® to deliver immersive XR learning with consistent visual clarity, unified modalities, and session templates aligned to course objectives.

Join Dr. Amanda Troy, Chair and Associate Professor of Anatomy at DUQCOM, as she shares the college’s approach to rollout, faculty enablement, and measurement.

Key takeaways:

• Decision-to-deployment: How DUQCOM made the call and adopted XR to support anatomy learning

• Integrating XR into anatomy and OMM: Lessons learned from adapting XR technology to anatomy course curriculum.

• Practical guidance for medical programs: Advice for programs considering similar technology.
