Her research interests focus on investigating changes in perception as individuals grow from na\u00efve learners to experts. She is also interested in clinical anatomy projects that advance clinicians\u2019 understanding of anatomy in a way that improves medical procedures such as surgical approaches or radiation treatments.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Zumwalt is the Course Director for the Medical Gross Anatomy course and is the section leader for the Thorax-Abdomen-Pelvis and Head and Neck sections of that course. She also teaches advanced clinical anatomy topics, including anatomy refresher sessions for the Radiology and Obstetrics &#038; Gynecology clerkships. She is Course Director of the department\u2019s Teaching in the Biomedical Sciences course and Anatomy Journal Club, and is the faculty advisor for the Anatomical Sciences Interest Group.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Zumwalt earned her doctorate in 2005 from the Center for Functional Anatomy and Evolution at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Her research there demonstrated that endurance exercise does not affect the surface morphology of skeletal muscle attachments. These findings challenge the rarely questioned assumption that analysis of these features can be used to provide insight into the activity patterns of extinct human and animal populations. Dr. Zumwalt subsequently joined the Animal Locomotion Laboratory in the Department of Biological Anthropology and Anatomy at Duke University. There she investigated the effects of hypermuscularity on locomotor patterns and bone morphology in rodents. She also collaborated on various research and educational projects with clinicians in radiation oncology, obstetrics and gynecology and neurology.<\/p>\n<p>Some of Dr. Zumwalt\u2019s CAMED service efforts include acting as chairman of the John McCahan Medical Campus Education Day committee and as a School of Medicine representative to the University Faculty Council. On a national level, she is actively involved in the American Association of Anatomists, having served on the AAA\u2019s Advisory Committee of Young Anatomists and Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>BU Today article about the Boston University Anatomical Gifts Program that describes some of Dr. Zumwalt\u2019s work: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/today\/2009\/gifts-from-the-dead\/\">\u201cGifts from the Dead\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>CV:<\/strong><span>&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"\/anatneuro\/files\/2018\/11\/CV_Zumwalt_11.13.2018.pdf\">Ann Zumwalt, Ph.D.\u2013 CV<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"block-pad\">\n<div class=\"block\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">RESEARCH:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">gross anatomy, clinical anatomy, education<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">OFFICE:<\/p>\n<p>L-1006<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">EMAIL:<\/p>\n<p>azumwalt@bu.edu<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">PHONE:<\/p>\n<p>(617) 358-1991<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/anatneuro\/faculty\/\" class=\"btn\" style=\"width: 60vw;\"><br \/>\n  <span class=\"gradient-btn\">Faculty<\/span><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<p>article.post-12487 {\n   display: none;\n}<\/p>\n<p>\/* ----------------Blocks---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.block {\n    background-color: #ffffff;\n    padding: 15px;\n    margin: auto;\n    height: 550px;\n    width: 300px;\n    border-radius: 3px;\n    align-items: center;\n    z-index: 2;\n    box-shadow: -50px 0 100px -50px #808080, 50px 0 100px -50px #808080;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.block-pad {\n    margin-top: 20px;\n    margin-bottom: 20px;\n}<\/p>\n<p>@media only screen and (min-width: 760px) {\n\t.block {\n\t\twidth: 300px;\n             height: 550px;\n\t}\n}<\/p>\n<p>.block h1 {\n    padding-bottom: 5px;\n    font-size: 24px;\n    text-align: center;\n}<\/p>\n<p>\/* ----------------Profile---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.side-info {\n    background-color: #ffffff;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.universal-pad {\n    margin: 25px;\n    margin-left: 10vw;\n    margin-right: 10vw;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo{\n  display: flex;\n  justify-content: center;\n  align-items: center;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.content1 {\n  position: relative;\n  animation: animatop 0.9s cubic-bezier(0.425, 1.14, 0.47, 1.125) forwards;\n  margin-left: 12vw;\n  margin-top: 10px;\n  margin-bottom: 10px;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.card {\n  width: 70vw;\n  min-height: 100px;\n  padding: 20px;\n  border-radius: 3px;\n  background-color: white;\n  box-shadow: 0px 10px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);\n  position: relative;\n  overflow: hidden;\n}\n.card:after {<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo {\n  flex-direction: row;\n  z-index: 2;\n  position: relative;\n}\n.firstinfo img {\n  display: none;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo {\n  padding: 0px 20px;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo h1 {\n  font-size: 35px;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo h3 {\n  font-size: 20px;\n  color: #262262;\n  font-style: italic;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo p.bio {\n  padding: 10px 0px;\n  color: #5A5A5A;\n  line-height: 1.2;\n  font-style: initial;\n}<\/p>\n<p>@keyframes animatop {\n  0% {\n    opacity: 0;\n    bottom: -500px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    opacity: 1;\n    bottom: 0px;\n  }\n}\n@keyframes animainfos {\n  0% {\n    bottom: 10px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    bottom: -42px;\n  }\n}\n@keyframes rotatemagic {\n  0% {\n    opacity: 0;\n    transform: rotate(0deg);\n    top: -24px;\n    left: -253px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    transform: rotate(-30deg);\n    top: -24px;\n    left: -78px;\n  }\n}<\/p>\n<p>@media only screen and (min-width: 900px) {\n.card:after {\n  content: \"\";\n  display: block;\n  width: 190px;\n  height: 300px;\n  background: #262262;\n  position: absolute;\n  animation: rotatemagic 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.425, 1.04, 0.47, 1.105) 1s both;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo img {\n  border-radius: 50%;\n  width: 120px;\n  height: 120px;\ndisplay: block;\n}<\/p>\n<p>}\n\/* ----------------Animated Button---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.gradient-btn {\n  \/* Fallback: Set a background color. *\/\n  background-color: #262262;<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Create the gradient. *\/\n  background-image: linear-gradient(\n    45deg,\n    #ffffff 50%,\n    #262262 50%\n  );<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Set the background size and repeat properties. *\/\n  background-size: 270%;\n  background-repeat: repeat;\n  background-position: top right;<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Use the text as a mask for the background. *\/\n  \/* This will show the gradient as a text color rather than element bg. *\/\n  -webkit-background-clip: text;\n  -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
