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

Is inadequate anatomical knowledge on the part of physicians hazardous for successful clinical practice?
TL;DR: In this article , a feedback survey has been carried out among students and faculties to seek their views on the need of Anatomy in clinical practice using two hypotheses: hypothesis 1 defines the degree of need of anatomy ('most essential', 'essential' and 'least essential'), whereas hypothesis 2 assigns weights depending on knowledge and experience of the feedback providers.

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.
