Overview of Anatomy and Physiology

39.3K
Human anatomy is the scientific study of the body's structures. Some of these structures are very small and can only be observed and analyzed with the assistance of a microscope. Other larger structures can readily be seen, manipulated, measured, and weighed. The word "anatomy" comes from a Greek root that means "to cut apart." Human anatomy was first studied by observing the body's exterior and the wounds of soldiers and other injuries. Later, physicians were allowed to...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anatomy Curriculum Design

Background:

  • Traditional discipline-based medical curricula can be fragmented.
  • Integrating basic sciences with clinical anatomy enhances learning.
  • Morehouse School of Medicine sought to innovate its first-year program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To restructure the first-year medical curriculum from a discipline-based to an integrated model.
  • To establish a robust and efficient educational program centered on anatomy.
  • To improve student learning outcomes and examination performance.

Main Methods:

  • Transitioned from a discipline-based to an integrated curriculum with anatomy as the core.
  • Developed four new integrated courses based on anatomical content.
  • Implemented an electronic examination and question banking system.
  • Ensured equitable assessment distribution using quizzes, in-course exams, and NBME Subject Examinations.

Main Results:

  • Successfully developed new integrated courses and a curriculum management team.
  • Launched contemporary examination methods with an electronic question bank.
  • Achieved significant improvements in performance on subject examinations.
  • Overcame integration obstacles to create a robust educational program.

Conclusions:

  • The integrated curriculum, with regional dissection as a core element, proved effective.
  • The restructured program demonstrated improved educational efficiency and student outcomes.
  • The curriculum is adaptable and expected to evolve further.
