Melanie Neumeier; Yuwaraj Narnaware – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Nursing students struggle to retain enough anatomical knowledge to meet their entry to practice competencies, but what knowledge is missing and when this occurs has been previously unexplored. A cohort of 80 nursing students were given multiple choice quizzes to assess their anatomical knowledge on 11 different organ systems during their second,…

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…

Yang, Mao-Yi; Tseng, Hsien-Chun; Liu, Chiung-Hui; Tsai, Shao-Yu; Chen, Jyun-Hsiung; Chu, Yin-Hung; Li, Shao-Ti; Lee, Jian-Jr; Liao, Wen-Chieh – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Understanding the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the human skull is imperative for medical courses. However, medical students are overwhelmed by the spatial complexity of the skull. Separated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bone models have advantages as learning tools, but they are fragile and expensive. This study aimed to reconstruct 3D-printed…

Valverde, Israel; Gomez, Gorka; Byrne, Nick; Anwar, Shafkat; Silva Cerpa, Miguel Angel; Martin Talavera, Maria; Pushparajah, Kuberan; Velasco Forte, Maria Nieves – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
The utility of three-dimensional (3D) printed models for medical education in complex congenital heart disease (CHD) is sparse and limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of 3D printed models for medical education in criss-cross hearts covering a wide range of participants with different levels of knowledge and experience,…

McConnell, Sarah E. A.; Mooney, Christopher J. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
Knowledge of embryology is foundational for understanding normal anatomy and birth defects, yet, embryology is a notoriously difficult subject for medical students. Embryonic lateral folding in particular is one of the most challenging concepts in embryology. Highly effective teaching methods that promote active engagement with dynamic,…

Narnaware, Yuwaraj; Neumeier, Melanie – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Human anatomy is a foundational course in nursing education, however, there is growing concern that students do not retain enough anatomical knowledge to successfully apply it in clinical settings. The aim of this study was to determine retention level of anatomy knowledge among second-year nursing students from their first-year anatomy class, and…

Lufler, Rebecca S.; Lazarus, Michelle D.; Stefanik, Joshua J. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
There is growing demand from accrediting agencies for improved basic science integration into fourth-year medical curricula and inculcation of medical students with teaching skills. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a fourth-year medical school elective course focused on teaching gross anatomy on anatomical…

Pais, Diogo; Casal, Diogo; Mascarenhas-Lemos, Luís; Barata, Pedro; Moxham, Bernard J.; Goyri-O'Neill, João – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2017
Teaching time dedicated to anatomy education has been reduced at many medical schools around the world, including Nova Medical School in Lisbon, Portugal. In order to minimize the effects of this reduction, the authors introduced two optional, semester-long cadaveric dissection courses for the first two years of the medical school curriculum.…

Akle, Veronica; Peña-Silva, Ricardo A.; Valencia, Diego M.; Rincón-Perez, Carlos W. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2018
Visualizing anatomical structures and functional processes in three dimensions (3D) are important skills for medical students. However, contemplating 3D structures mentally and interpreting biomedical images can be challenging. This study examines the impact of a new pedagogical approach to teaching neuroanatomy, specifically how building a…

Langdon, Jody; Botnaru, Diana T.; Wittenberg, Megan; Riggs, Amy Jo; Mutchler, Jessica; Syno, Matthew; Caciula, Manuela C. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2019
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different metacognitive interventions on knowledge and regulation of cognition, as well as academic performance (i.e., exam and final grades) in three sections of an undergraduate human anatomy and physiology course. All targeted classes were randomly assigned to one of three groups…

Knudsen, Lars; Nawrotzki, Ralph; Schmiedl, Andreas; Mühlfeld, Christian; Kruschinski, Carsten; Ochs, Matthias – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2018
Medical students have difficulties in interpreting two-dimensional (2D) topographic anatomy on sectional images. Hands-on and no hands-on training in ultrasound imaging facilitate learning topographic anatomy. Hands-on training is linked with active search for patterns of anatomical structures and might train pattern recognition for image…

Abdel Meguid, Eiman M.; Khalil, Mohammed K. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2017
Motivation and learning are inter-related. It is well known that motivating learners is clearly a complex endeavor, which can be influenced by the educational program and the learning environment. Limited research has been conducted to examine students' motivation as a method to assess the effectiveness of dissection in medical education. This…

de Azevedo, Renato A.; Correa, Marcos B.; Torriani, Marcos A.; Lund, Rafael G. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2018
Knowledge of dental anatomy is of great importance in the practice of dentistry, especially in oral rehabilitation, because without this knowledge, professional practice is not possible. Dental carving plays a major role in training dental students as it develops their manual dexterity. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the…
