A profound grasp of anatomy is indispensable for shaping competent and safe medical practitioners. This knowledge acquisition is pivotal in the early stages of medical education and remains crucial throughout clinical training. However, the evolving landscape of medical education has ushered in changes to the anatomy curriculum, marked by a…

Lilian H. Fellner; Svetlana M. King; Christine M. Barry – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Pelvic anatomy is considered challenging to teach and learn, partly because its complexity can make it difficult to conceptualize. Educational researchers recognize the value of a spiraling curriculum to develop clinically orientated anatomy knowledge for health professionals, but most studies have focused on the preclinical years. It is unclear…

Richard L. Goodwin; Asa C. Black Jr.; Thomas I. Nathaniel – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Basic science, clinical science, and health system science (HSS) have become three pillars of integration upon which modern, post-Flexner, medical education is now based. Because of this new approach to curricular integration in a clinical presentation curruculum, medical training is now placed in the context of healthcare delivery. This study…

"Hold Your Breath and Bear Down": Using Valsalva's Maneuver to Explore Venous Variations in the Neck
Download full textKrinke, Rachael K.; Yoachim, Shayla D. – HAPS Educator, 2022
The remarkable variation in superficial veins of the neck challenges anatomy students during cadaveric exploration. Despite frequently serving as cannulation sites, conduits for catheter placement, grafts following carotid endarterectomy, and a visual representation of central venous pressure, the jugular venous network and its variations are not…

Kip; Topping, Daniel B.; Wainman, Bruce; Wineski, Lawrence E.; Zumwalt, Ann C.; Hankin, Mark H. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Clerkships are defining experiences for medical students in which students integrate basic science knowledge with clinical information as they gain experience in diagnosing and treating patients in a variety of clinical settings. Among the basic sciences, there is broad agreement that anatomy is foundational for medical practice. Unfortunately,…

Anna Ricci; Ian Minearo; Abigail Hielscher – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
Anatomy is essential for understanding healthy and disease states as well as for the successful completion of clinical clerkships and board examinations. This project provided structured workshops aimed to review anatomical concepts for clerkships and Step 1 and provided a means for medical students to assess their anatomical knowledge. We…

The implementation of curriculum change, and innovative pedagogical theory, can help educators and administrators in higher education further the learning gains of students in the sciences. But the introduction of new methods of teaching, or curricular restructuring, can be interpreted by students differently, potentially affecting students'…

Jeyakumar, Arunan; Dissanayake, Bhanuka; Dissabandara, Lakal – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
For centuries cadaveric dissection has been a cornerstone of medical anatomy education. However, time and financial limitations in modern, compressed medical curricula, coupled with the abundance of alternate modalities, have raised questions about the role of dissection. This study was designed to explore student perceptions of the efficacy of a…

Hakim, Amir; Ricketts, William; Pfeffer, Paul; Ashworth, Rachel – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Medical graduates are expected to apply scientific principles and explain the processes underlying common and important diseases. Evidence shows that integrated medical curricula, which deliver biomedical science within the context of clinical cases, facilitate student learning in preparation for practice. However, research has also shown that the…

Cheung, Chun Chung; Bridges, Susan M.; Tipoe, George L. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
The impact of the medical curricular reform on anatomy education has been inconclusive. A pervasive perception is that graduates do not possess a sufficient level of anatomical knowledge for safe medical practice; however, the reason is less well-studied. This qualitative study investigated the perceived challenges in learning anatomy, possible…

Darici, Dogus; Missler, Markus; Schober, Anna; Masthoff, Max; Schnittler, Hans; Schmitz, Martina – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
The various psychological dimensions of professional identity formation (PIF) are an important aspect of the study course for undergraduate medical students. Anatomical learning environments have been repeatedly shown to play a critical role in forming such an identity; however, relevance of PIF during sonoanatomical training remains…

Davidsen, Jacob; Larsen, Dorthe Vinther; Paulsen, Lucas; Rasmussen, Sten – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2022
In this paper, we present and discuss an explorative study on the use of a social 360° virtual reality (360VR) for supporting case-based Problem Based Learning (case-PBL) in clinical medical education. In the context of case-PBL, we argue that our social 360VR learning space extends the design and application of cases in medical education by…

Smith, Jacob P.; Kendall, John L.; Royer, Danielle F. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2018
This study describes a new teaching model for ultrasound (US) training, and evaluates its effect on medical student attitudes toward US. First year medical students participated in hands-on US during human gross anatomy (2014 N = 183; 2015 N = 182). The sessions were facilitated by clinicians alone in 2014, and by anatomy teaching assistant…

The complexity of the material being taught in clinical neuroscience within the medical school curriculum requires creative pedagogies to teach medical students effectively. Many clinical teaching strategies have been developed and are well described to address these challenges. However, only a few have been evaluated to determine their impact on…

Lazarus, Michelle D.; Dos Santos, Jason A.; Haidet, Paul M.; Whitcomb, Tiffany L. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2016
The anatomy laboratory provides an ideal environment for the integration of clinical contexts as the willed-donor is often regarded as a student's "first patient." This study evaluated an innovative approach to peer teaching in the anatomy laboratory using a clinical handoff context. The authors introduced the "Situation,…
