Case-based anatomy teaching significantly boosted medical students' confidence and test scores. This effective method enhances anatomy knowledge and may be a valuable addition to modern medical education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anatomy Pedagogy

Background:

  • Declining anatomy teaching time in medical curricula necessitates innovative pedagogical approaches.
  • Current anatomy teaching methods lack robust evidence for educational efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of case-based learning on medical students' anatomy knowledge and confidence.

Main Methods:

  • 43 clinical-phase medical students participated in 4 weeks of case-based anatomy sessions.
  • Students completed anatomy tests and self-rated confidence before and after the intervention.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant increase in self-rated confidence (2-point rise).
  • A significant improvement in average anatomy test scores (10.9% increase).
