These insights all pointed to the necessity for a web-based solution that would enhance the overall user experience.

How to Access Complete Anatomy for Web
Accessing Complete Anatomy for Web with your existing Complete Anatomy account
Creating your Complete Anatomy account on the web
Initially, access to Complete Anatomy for Web will be through Institutional created deep-linked content. New Deep Links will open on the web version instead of the native app, and existing links will soon do the same (if you have Deep Links created, we’ll be sure to give you a heads up in advance of that happening).
Keen to try it for yourself? Follow one of our new deep links here!
We are also currently working on a homepage that will provide access to all content on Complete Anatomy for Web, ideal for students who use Complete Anatomy for self-directed study. Stay tuned for that!
