7) To facilitate communication with other sectors of the educational and scientific community and to collect and disseminate to the membership information regarding events of interest.
8) To foster a sense of collegiality and camaraderie among members.
HAPS also works to make teaching better with:
1) Extensive work on clarifying faculty accreditation issues, including a set of tools for faculty and institutions to use to help clarify instructor qualifications.
2) Nationally respected position statements on animal use, cadaver use, and distance education.
3) HAPS Comprehensive Exam: A fully online exam used both in the United States and Internationally to characterize instructors, programs, and individual students.
4) Updated learning goals for undergraduate instruction in all content areas in anatomy and physiology.
5) A weekly curated set of links relevant news for 9 interest areas of Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) instruction known as Whats New in A&P that is used in classrooms across the country.
6) An active social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ to keep in touch with members and the wider community.
