Is the decline of human anatomy hazardous to medical education/profession?--A review.
TLDR
This decline in anatomy in medical education is hazardous not only to the medical profession but also to society and reforms consisting of balanced rescheduling of medical curricula and optimum resource allocation have been proposed to improve the standard of education of doctors.Abstract:
Purpose
The continuous decrease in teaching time, the artificially created scarcity of competent anatomical faculties and a reduced allocation of resources have brought about the decline of anatomy in medical education. As a result of this, anatomical knowledge and the standard of medical education have fallen with consequences including safety in clinical practice. The aim of the present study is to analyze this declining phase of anatomy and its impact on medical education and to consider corrective measures.read more

National Survey on Canadian Undergraduate Medical Programs: The Decline of the Anatomical Sciences in Canadian Medical Education
TL;DR: Results show that most content is delivered in the first year of medical school, as anatomy is a foundational building block for upper‐year courses and further investigation is required to determine if the amount of anatomical science education within medical school affects students' performance in clerkship, residency and beyond.
