Model pedagogy of human anatomy in medical education
1Uttarpradesh Medical University, Saifai, Etawah, UP, India.
Purpose:
The falling standard of medical education evidenced by patient dissatisfaction causing rapidly heaping medico-legal cases, some of them may be due to 'anatomical ignorance' leading to tremendous concern by both clinicians and anatomists, encouraged the author to design a pedagogical model of teaching of anatomy in medical education. So, the aim of the study is to propose a suitable pedagogical model from review of literature and author's own experience and analysis.
Methods:
The literature survey (online) has been carried out using the phrases, decline of anatomy, contribution of anatomy to medical education, prevalent curriculum and teaching methodology, causatives of acquisition of inadequate anatomy by medical trainees.
Results:
The literature and our own analysis highlight the deficiencies in anatomical schedule, curriculum, teaching methodologies and evaluation system in present medical education. A pedagogical model has been designed to improve the delivery and acquisition of anatomical knowledge.
Conclusions:
The evolved pedagogical model of anatomy in the present study aims at sufficient delivery and acquisition of anatomical knowledge if applied, not only to curb failure cases and, consequently, litigations but also to boost the confidence of trainees, patients and society on health care system.
