Fun facts about Dr. Robert Acland
Many things led up to Dr. Acland’s decision to make the Video Atlas, but the immediate cause was a conversation that happened in the fall of 1993. He had just given a clinical correlation lecture to our medical students about the importance of anatomy in his career as a surgeon. After that, Dr. Acland started creating Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy. Here are some other fun facts about Dr. Acland:
