I'm happy to share the suggestions I received to my request for virtual anatomy resources.  The first part are the responses I received for mostly paid resources.  The second part is what I found from culling various libGuides for free resources.  Since we are so close to the end of the fiscal year our coffers are pretty well empty.  In addition we have a new library director starting on June 1st and I think she needs to be part of any discussion/decision on adding a resource that will affect the budget.  So I ended up sending the list of free resources to the instructor and asked her to look them over to see if they'll meet her current needs.

Thanks everyone for your help!

Reccos received:
Gale Interactive: Human Anatomy<https://www.gale.com/c/interactive-human-anatomy>

Have you looked here? There are lots of free virtual lab resources listed…Some titles may be misleading and some are not human anatomy, so you may need to drill into it.
Online Science Laboratories<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18iVSIeOqKjj58xcR8dYJS5rYvzZ4X1UGLWhl3brRzCM/edit#gid=0> - Teaching Remote List of online laboratories maintained by LeighAnn Tomaswick of Kent State University

Have you tried searching https://www.oercommons.org/ for OERs? Looks like a lot of variety there for anatomy resources.

We use Ovid’s Visible Body at UNCW and it has been very well received by students and faculty. It’s a one time purchase too, which is nice if you can swing it.

Our anatomy lab coordinator got a trial of Mastering A&P, a Pearson online resource.

Not sure how the pricing would work out, Nancy, but Gale has an Interactive Anatomy database that might work in this instance.  You can contact a Gale rep to ask about it; here’s a Google link out to it: https://www.gale.com/c/interactive-human-anatomy

Someone at my university just asked for access to Anatomy.tv<https://www.anatomy.tv/>. No idea of the cost.

Here are two possible open resource virtual anatomy labs:
LibreTexts Human Anatomy Lab Manual https://med.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Ancillary_Materials/Laboratories/Human_Anatomy_Lab_Manual
McGill University Physiology Virtual Laboratory http://www.medicine.mcgill.ca/physio/vlab/

We added Visible Body last year, and students no longer had to spend upwards of $50k annually on lab manuals.

Free sources found:

Atlas of Human Anatomy (https://www.anatomyatlases.org/atlasofanatomy/index.shtml)  This one has been around for a while and I think we had a link to it on our early library webpage.

Lumen: Welcome to the Bone Box (http://www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/MedEd/grossanatomy/learnem/bones/main_bone.htm)  Sounds hokey, but it seems to have decent photos--you need to click on the numbered item and look at the top left to see what the item is and I don't think you can enlarge.
