ABSTRACT
Many parts of the world, especially low- and middle-income countries, lack access to supplemental, time-efficient, and engaging teaching resources. Additionally, many anatomy educators may feel ill-equipped to teach in neuro-related fields. To address these issues, the Global Neuroanatomy Network (GNN) is a new repository of open educational resources (ROER) developed for neuroanatomy educators worldwide. The GNN expands on existing ROERs within health professions and anatomical sciences education while filling the neuroanatomy gap through peer-reviewed, multilingual teaching resources and clinical cases. Funded by the American Association for Anatomy, the GNN is freely available to neuroanatomy educators at all academic institutions. GNN members can submit their teaching resources or clinical cases for peer review and view or download content that global colleagues have submitted. The GNN aims to enhance neuroanatomy education by creating and supporting the expansion of a novel repository and further growing a community of neuroanatomy educators.
