The Official Journal
Clinical Anatomy.
The official peer-reviewed journal of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists and the British Association of Clinical Anatomists — published by Wiley since 1988.
Aims & Scope
A medium for exchange between anatomists and clinicians.
The journal embraces anatomy in all its aspects — gross, histologic, developmental, and neurologic — as applied to medical practice. It assists physicians in keeping abreast of new methodologies for patient management, and informs educators of new developments in clinical anatomy and teaching techniques.
