Profile

Dr. Hill is a trained anthropologist and anatomist. For many years she explored the evolutionary and developmental processes underlying the morphology of the human skull. In recent years, Dr. Hill’s focus has moved towards the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL) and anatomical education for undergraduates and medical students. Her SOTL projects have included removing barriers to learning in the classroom, online teaching technologies and the vertical integration of anatomy education.
