The idea for a national organization for human anatomy and physiology instructors began during the first National Anatomy and Physiology Workshop held at Triton college in Chicago, IL in 1987. The Human Anatomy and Physiology Society was officially formed at the third National Anatomy and Physiology Workshop held at Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, NV in 1989. A constitution was ratified, and the first officers were elected at that time. HAPS has since grown to include over 1,000 members from two and four year colleges, universities, and private businesses throughout the United States and Canada. The annual HAPS national conference, local conferences, and the HAPS newsletter provide members an important means of updating their knowledge, improving technical skills, investigating new technologies for the laboratory and classroom, and networking with their peers.
New members are always welcome.
