Research

Dr. Ogilvie, Professor Emeritus, Medical University of South Carolina, is the course director for the online histology course, BIOL530-J30. Dr. Ogilvie, in collaboration with Dr. Sawyer, created the lectures for this course. Dr. Ogilvie is the narrator of the lectures. The main resources in the course for the study of histological specimens are WebMic that Dr. Ogilvie created while on sabbatical leave in the Institute of Anatomy, Medical School, University of Zurich, Switzerland, and the companion Study Guide eBook for WebMic. At the 129th meeting of the American Association of Anatomists, he was awarded the highest honor given by the association, The Henry Gray Distinguished Educator Award. Dr. Ogilvie has had a long standing interest in the development of web delivered courses in histology and histopathology featuring narrated lectures and video tours explaining microscopic architecture of the human body to excite and focus the learner’s independent study of histology and histopathology. Dr. Ogilvie’s career included basic research funded by federal grants.
