What Do Anatomists Do?
Anatomists work in the fields of medicine, physical therapy, and occupational therapy, to name a few. They may teach anatomy at universities and colleges, or work in museums and other research institutions. Anatomists may also work in private practice, providing expert advice on human anatomy.
Research
Anatomists conduct research on the human body to better understand its structure and function. This research can be basic or applied, and can lead to new discoveries about the human body, new medical treatments, and new ways to prevent disease.
Education
Anatomists teach anatomy to students in medical schools, physical therapy schools, and occupational therapy schools. They also teach anatomy to students in undergraduate and graduate programs in biology, anthropology, and other fields.
Clinical Practice
Anatomists can work in clinical practice, providing expert advice on human anatomy to doctors, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. They can also work in private practice, providing expert advice on human anatomy to individuals and families.
