Biology undergraduate students learn about vertebrate skull structure, function, and evolution. In the Integrative Anatomy course at Central Washington University, students gain a broad perspective on vertebrate (including human) anatomy, histology, and embryology in an evolutionary context. In this issue of ASE, Darda summarizes data gathered from biology departments at fouryear undergraduate institutions in Washington State and suggests how the undergraduate anatomy curriculum might be modified to meet student needs (both pre‐health career students and “regular” biology majors) given the constraints of staffing and time. Pictured in the photograph (taken by CWU photographer Richard Villacres) are Dr. David Darda ( on the right ) and his students Jessica Christnacht, Tyler Dexter and Spencer Moen.
