The AACA was founded to support, promote, and advance anatomically and clinically-based scholarship in research, teaching, and curricular matters within the health science professions. Its annual scientific meeting provides a vital and supportive venue for basic and clinical scientists and educators to disseminate scholarly work of an experimental or descriptive nature in any of the subdisciplines of anatomy or specialities of medicine. Our journal, Clinical Anatomy, is the Official Journal of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists,the British Association of Clinical Anatomists, the Australian and New Zealand Association of Clinical Anatomists, and the Anatomical Society of Southern Africa. It publishes original and review articles of scientific, clinical, and educational interest to anatomists and clinicians. Our Association is proud to have members from over 30 countries worldwide and we continually welcome new members to our community.
