TLDR
Comparison between the data sets suggests several key points some of which include: decreased total hours in gross anatomy and neuroscience/neuroanatomy courses, increased use of virtual microscopy in microscopic anatomy courses, and decreased laboratory hours in embryology courses.Abstract:
At most institutions, education in the anatomical sciences has undergone several changes over the last decade. To identify the changes that have occurred in gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, neuroscience/neuroanatomy, and embryology courses, directors of these courses were asked to respond to a survey with questions pertaining to total course hours, hours of lecture, and hours of laboratory, whether the course was part of an integrated program or existed as a stand-alone course, and what type of laboratory experience occurred in the course. These data were compared to data obtained from a similar survey in 2002. Comparison between the data sets suggests several key points some of which include: decreased total hours in gross anatomy and neuroscience/neuroanatomy courses, increased use of virtual microscopy in microscopic anatomy courses, and decreased laboratory hours in embryology courses.read more

Physician Associate Students' Experience of Anatomy Dissection
TL;DR: Students in the first two cohorts of PA Program at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland program were invited to interviews which solicited them to reflect and report on their own experiences of anatomical dissection during their course, and a number of recommendations were made for the experience and orientation of future students in such a program.

Learning objective of the anatomy circulation system for the medical students: a delphi study
TL;DR: The learning objectives of the circulation system that need to be known are 32 learning objectives, with cognitive domains varying between C1-C3, that guide the faculty in selecting teaching methods as well as appropriate evaluation to measure the progress of student understanding.

Posterior approach to kidney dissection: An old surgical approach for integrated medical curricula
TL;DR: Dissection instructions that follow one of the historical surgical approaches for nephrectomy, including preservation of the posterior abdominal wall neurovasclature are provided, intending this posterior approach to the kidneys to be their first introduction to the renal system.

Survey of gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, neuroscience, and embryology courses in medical school curricula in the United States.
TL;DR: Directors of courses in the basic anatomical sciences in allopathic and osteopathic medical schools in the United States were surveyed regarding the present composition of their courses, and results indicate the majority of gross anatomy courses are in the range of 126 to 200 total course hours, and that laboratory dissection is a key component of these courses.

Modified Use of Team-Based Learning for Effective Delivery of Medical Gross Anatomy and Embryology.
TL;DR: It is found that a TBL approach in teaching anatomy allowed us to create an active learning environment that helped to improve students' performances, and based on the experience, other preclinical courses are now piloting TBL.
