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

The LINDSAY Virtual Human Project: An immersive Approach to Anatomy and Physiology
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that external, personal media usage, along with students' awareness of the need to apply anatomy to clinical professional situations drove expectations of LINDSAY Presenter, and a focus on the software over learning, surprisingly remained after three weeks of use.

A Look at the Anatomy Educator Job Market: Anatomists Remain in Short Supply.
Adam B. Wilson,Andrew Notebaert,Audra Schaefer,Audra Schaefer,Bernard J. Moxham,Shiby Stephens,Caroline Mueller,Michelle D. Lazarus,Aaron Z. Katrikh,William S. Brooks +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored trends in the number, type, and fill rate of anatomy educator job openings by analyzing job posting in the United States over the past two years and found that most departmental leaders who responded (65% or more) from United States/Canada and the European Union (n = 52) anticipate they will have “moderate to great difficulty hiring anatomy educators in gross anatomy, histology, and embryology over the next five years.

Investigating the effect of distance between the teacher and learner on the student perception of a neuroanatomical near-peer teaching programme
TL;DR: It is hypothesised that graduation is an important threshold, where there is a significant drop in congruencies between the learner and teacher, therefore, having a significant impact on the perception of the NPT session.

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.
