TL;DR: Alternative resources and strategies are discussed in an attempt to tackle genuine concerns of diminished allotted dissection time and the number of qualified anatomy instructors, which will eventually deteriorate the quality of education.
Abstract: Anatomy has historically been a cornerstone in medical education regardless of nation or specialty. Until recently, dissection and didactic lectures were its sole pedagogy. Teaching methodology has been revolutionized with more reliance on models, imaging, simulation, and the Internet to further consolidate and enhance the learning experience. Moreover, modern medical curricula are giving less importance to anatomy education and to the acknowledged value of dissection. Universities have even abandoned dissection completely in favor of user-friendly multimedia, alternative teaching approaches, and newly defined priorities in clinical practice. Anatomy curriculum is undergoing international reformation but the current framework lacks uniformity among institutions. Optimal learning content can be categorized into the following modalities: (1) dissection/prosection, (2) interactive multimedia, (3) procedural anatomy, (4) surface and clinical anatomy, and (5) imaging. The importance of multimodal teaching, with examples suggested in this article, has been widely recognized and assessed. Nevertheless, there are still ongoing limitations in anatomy teaching. Substantial problems consist of diminished allotted dissection time and the number of qualified anatomy instructors, which will eventually deteriorate the quality of education. Alternative resources and strategies are discussed in an attempt to tackle these genuine concerns. The challenges are to reinstate more effective teaching and learning tools while maintaining the beneficial values of orthodox dissection. The UK has a reputable medical education but its quality could be improved by observing international frameworks. The heavy penalty of not concentrating on sufficient anatomy education will inevitably lead to incompetent anatomists and healthcare professionals, leaving patients to face dire repercussions.

TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: This book is thorough and yet succinct in its expression, without loss of relevant detail, and is not only to be recommended as an excellent companion for undergraduate medical students but also for candidates of the intercollegiate MRCS diploma.
Abstract: With its international editorial board, this book is the first edition of Gray's Anatomy for Students, which is based on its established and successful parent volume Gray's Anatomy. As in many modern anatomy books, the subject is covered regionally. The book is organised into eight sections: anatomy and imaging, back, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum, lower limb, upper limb, and the head and neck. For each region, the section includes a conceptual overview of the region, its functions, component parts, relationships to other regions and its key features before covering the anatomy in detail. The editors are to be applauded for these particularly useful features as many anatomy books often neglect function and how many regions of the body, such as the thorax and abdomen, are related. Where relevant, embryology is also covered. The clinical relevance of topographical anatomy, together with surface anatomy, is highlighted throughout. At the end of each chapter there are clinical scenarios and ten short questions demonstrating clinical applications of anatomy, allowing the readers to test and apply their knowledge. The book provides a unique access code for with free online access to additional learning resources including the entire collection of images, which can be downloaded from an image library. This is particularly useful for presentations. There are also links to resources on interactive surface anatomy, case studies and self-assessment multiple choice questions. These are a useful means of re-inforcing anatomical concepts in preparation for examinations. The clarity of expression of its text, colour artwork and layout is excellent. Anatomy is such a difficult discipline and many textbooks include complex drawings that complicate the subject. This book is thorough and yet succinct in its expression, without loss of relevant detail. It is not only to be recommended as an excellent companion for undergraduate medical students but also for candidates of the intercollegiate MRCS diploma.
