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

What anatomy is clinically useful and when should we be teaching it
TL;DR: Recommendations from the study highlight a need for greater clinical emphasis in anatomy teaching during preclinical years and it is essential that clinicians become integrally involved in the design and delivery of future medical undergraduate anatomy courses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-Dimensional Sectioned Images and Three-Dimensional Surface Models for Learning the Anatomy of the Female Pelvis
TL;DR: The state‐of‐the‐art sectioned images, outlined images, and surface models, arranged and systematized as described in this study, will aid students in understanding the anatomy of female pelvis.

Giovanni Battista Morgagni (1682–1771): father of pathologic anatomy and pioneer of modern medicine
TL;DR: His ability to integrate and synthesize information set him apart from his contemporaries, and his anatomo-clinical method was a major breakthrough in the history of medicine as it helped physicians to diagnose a disease, analyse the prognosis of that disease and prepare a management protocol for the same.
Journal ArticleDOI
“Anatomizing” reversed: Use of examination questions that foster use of higher order learning skills by students
TL;DR: Students use of cognitive and metacognitive methods of higher order learning that will foster high‐quality learning producing better practitioners and lifelong learners needs to begin in the first year of medical school.
Journal ArticleDOI
More technology, better learning resources, better learning? Lessons from adopting virtual microscopy in undergraduate medical education
TL;DR: Evaluating the students' reactions and the impact of a set of measures designed to boost an experimental group's understanding of abnormal histology through an emphasis on knowledge of normal cells and tissues concluded that the experimental group significantly outperformed the historical controls in understanding normal histology.

Response Rate in Academic Studies-A Comparative Analysis:
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to explore what could and should be a reasonable response rate in academic studies and the average response rate was 55.6 with a standard deviation of 19.7.

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.
