Evie Donald

I am part of the Anatomy Team, and teach anatomy to students across various allied health courses, although I primarily teach medical students.

Throughout my time at university, I gained valuable experience working with human tissues, both through examination of prosections and dissection projects.

I am truly passionate about anatomy and anatomical teaching, and will always aim to make my love for the subject as infectious as possible.

I am particularly interested in comparative and evolutionary anatomy. Both my undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations focused on bone structure as an indicator of locomotor capabilities in hominins. However, my most recent research has been focused upon the use of ultrasound in undergraduate medical education.

My academic research interests primarily relate to human evolutionary and comparative anatomy. I am keen to understand the selective pressures and processes behind the evolution of the human form from our primate ancestors.

I am also currently undertaking research into how best to scaffold ultrasound provision into anatomy for undergraduate medical students.

I am a member of The Anatomical Society, and hold a Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
