Barbara Kraszpulska serves as Associate Professor of Neuroscience, Cell Biology & Physiology and Director of NCBP Graduate Programs at Wright State University's College of Science and Mathematics. Her primary academic home resides within the Department of Neuroscience, Cell Biology & Physiology, where she directs graduate programs and teaches human anatomy courses across both the College of Science and Mathematics (CoSM) and Boonshoft School of Medicine (BSOM).
Her research focuses on innovative pedagogical approaches in anatomy education, specifically the development and evaluation of computer-assisted learning tools. She pioneered the Computer-Based Dissection Manual (CBDM) series covering cranium, thorax, upper extremity, and abdomen/pelvis regions, which has been formally adopted across multiple anatomy courses at Wright State. Her work bridges traditional cadaveric dissection with digital learning environments, examining student perspectives on educational efficacy through publications in MedEdPORTAL and the Journal of the International Association of Medical Science Educators.
Dr. Kraszpulska's publication record reveals a consistent trajectory in digital anatomy education from 2009-2013, with emphasis on creating modular, interactive learning objects for specific anatomical regions. Her research demonstrates particular expertise in translating complex anatomical structures into accessible digital resources while maintaining pedagogical rigor. Collaborative work with colleagues across anatomy and medical education departments underscores her team-based approach to curriculum development.
As Director of NCBP Graduate Programs, she oversees academic pathways within neuroscience and physiology disciplines. Her teaching portfolio includes course directorship for Human Gross Anatomy (ANT 7110) and co-course direction for Human Architecture sequences at the medical school level, reflecting dual responsibilities across undergraduate and graduate medical education.
