Biographical Sketch 
Dr. Resuehr received his Ph.D. in biology from the University of Hamburg in 2004. He continued his research at Florida State University and then was accepted into the Vanderbilt University “Scientist-Educator Program” where he was trained in gross anatomy instruction for three years. He has since taught anatomy to students of several health science disciplines, including Medicine, Dentistry, Optometry and Nursing Anesthesia. One of Resuehr’s special interests is imaging techniques and their utility in understanding three-dimensional anatomy. In this function he is a prominent committee member in the World Congress for Ultrasound in Medical Education and innovator in ultrasound training phantoms. He is Director of numerous courses at UAB, in addition, he has created several of his own special topics and co-enrolled electives such as the UAB Anatomy TA-Program and Introduction to Ultrasound electives. Dr. Resuehr also is a highly regarded lead mentor for the Oparil Learning Community of the UABSOM. Most recently he has also taken over leadership of gross anatomy for Physician assistant students and is co-director of the new Master in Anatomical Sciences Program. Dr. Resuehr has won and been nominated for many teaching awards, among these is the most prestigious award UAB has to offer, the Presidential Excellence Award for Teaching.
