Keith L. Moore

Keith L. Moore is a professor emeritus in the division of anatomy (department of surgery), former Chair of anatomy and associate dean for Basic Medical Sciences (Faculty of Medicine) at the University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He has also worked at the King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Moreover, he is a founding member of the "American Association of Clinical Anatomists" (AACA). He was President of the AACA between 1989 and 1991 [ [http://www.clinicalanatomy.org/pastpresidents.html Past Presidents] ] . He is most known for his textbooks on the subjects of anatomy and human embryology.

He has co-written (with professor Arthur F. Dalley II) "Clinically Oriented Anatomy", which is the most popular English-language anatomy textbook in the world, used by scientists, doctors, physiotherapists and students worldwide. The book is especially popular because of its 'blue boxes' - passages of text on blue background that relate the classical anatomy to real-world concepts in the diagnosis and treatment of human patients. The book now exists in multiple versions - one with American English spelling and one with British English spelling, and also a shorter version that is more suitable as a reference or revision guide.

Awards

Because of the success of "Clinically Oriented Anatomy", the AACA awarded awarded Dr. Moore with their Honored Member Award (in 1994). In 2007, the American Association of Anatomists awarded him with the first Henry Gray/Elsevier Distinguished Educator Award [ [http://www.clinicalanatomy.org/news.html#moore1 Keith Moore honored with Henry Gray/Elsevier Distinguished Educator Award] ] .
