Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nawa, Nobutoshi; Numasawa, Mitsuyuki; Yamaguchi, Kumiko; Morita, Ayako; Fujiwara, Takeo; Akita, Keiichi – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Although medical students learn human anatomy within a social network of friends/classmates, limited research has examined how social network structure is related to student's performance in human anatomy examinations. This study aimed to examine the association between centrality (i.e., the degree to which a student is connected to other students…

The Effect of Curricular Reform on Gross Anatomy Laboratory Examination Performance: An Institutional Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Taylor, Melissa A.; Loder, Danielle M.; Herr, Michael J.; Nichols, Richard A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Many medical schools have undergone curricular reform recently. With these reforms, time spent teaching anatomy has been reduced, and there has been a general shift to a pass/fail grading system. At Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM), a new curriculum was implemented in fall 2016. The year-long human gross anatomy course taught in 2015…

A Neuroanatomy Lab Practical Exam Format in Alignment with the Universal Design for Learning Framework
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kimpo, Rhea R.; Puder, Barb – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
The traditional format for neuroanatomy lab practical exams involves stations with a time limit for each station and inability to revisit stations. Timed exams have been associated with anxiety, which can lead to poor performance. In alignment with the universal design for learning (UDL), "Timed Image Question" and "Untimed Image…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hana Anderson; Jennifer A. Weil; Richard P. Tucker; Douglas S. Gross – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
The efficacy of the various pedagogies that are used in human anatomy laboratories has been extensively debated. Nevertheless, an important question remains relatively unexamined--how the learning experience in the anatomy laboratory impacts students' mastery and application of anatomical knowledge beyond the laboratory setting. In this study, the…

Integration of Virtual Microscopy Podcasts in the Histology Discipline in Osteopathic Medical School: Learning Outcomes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sakthi-Velavan, Sumathilatha; Zahl, Sarah – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Virtual microscopy podcasts (VMPs) are narrative recordings of digital histology images. This study evaluated the outcomes of integrating the VMPs into teaching histology to osteopathic medical students. The hypothesis was that incorporating virtual microscopy podcasts as supplementary histology resources to the curriculum would have a positive…

Design for Assessment of Dissection in Anatomy Laboratory Based on Group Identification of Structures and Peer Evaluation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hafez, Shireen A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
Dissection is a unique multisensory educational experience and is essential to learning the anatomical construction of the human and animal bodies. This study aims to introduce a specialized design for the assessment of dissection and to discuss the assessment's attributes. The design was a product of the "assessment drives learning"…

Rao Bhagavathula, Venugopala; Bhagavathula, Viswakanth; Moinis, Rohan S.; Chaudhuri, Joydeep Dutta – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
The study of neuroanatomy imposes a significant cognitive load on students since it includes huge factual information and therefore demands diverse learning strategies. In addition, a significant amount of teaching is carried out through human brain demonstrations, due to limited opportunities for cadaveric dissection. However, reports suggest…

Crosado, Brynley; Löffler, Sabine; Ondruschka, Benjamin; Zhang, Ming; Zwirner, Johann; Hammer, Niels – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Embalming fixatives such as formaldehyde and phenol have been associated with occupational health hazards. While anatomists aim at replacing these chemicals, this seems presently unfeasible in particular for formaldehyde. Furthermore, fixation protocols usually require well-equipped facilities with highly experienced staff to achieve good fixation…
