    Background:

    • Effective medical training requires a strong foundation in anatomical knowledge.
    • Understanding normal anatomy is crucial for diagnosing abnormalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define the optimal structure and role of undergraduate topographical anatomy courses.
    • To establish the necessity and function of postgraduate courses in surgical training.

    Main Methods:

    • Curriculum analysis of undergraduate topographical anatomy.
    • Policy review of postgraduate surgical examination requirements.

    Main Results:

    • Undergraduate courses should focus on enabling meaningful physical medical examinations and familiarity with normal anatomy.
    • Postgraduate courses should be compulsory for postgraduate surgical examinations and serve as a complement to undergraduate training.
