Graduate anatomy courses should be designed based on several needs. These include preparation for how to study in medical school and other healthcare programs, integrating multiple ways of engaging with the material, including repetition for long-term retention, and training of anatomy educators. Our graduate anatomy course presents an example of a balanced course structure that caters to the varying needs of different learners and encourages interest in anatomy education as a profession. By refocusing graduate gross anatomy training, we aim to support learners pursuing fields that utilize anatomy, including healthcare professions as well as future content experts to address the shortage of qualified anatomy educators.
