Mixed reality (MR) devices offer an effective alternative to traditional cadaveric dissection for teaching musculoskeletal anatomy to medical students, with comparable learning outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anatomy
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Medical school curricula are expanding, reducing time for anatomy instruction.
  • Efficient and effective anatomy teaching methods are crucial for medical students.
  • Traditional cadaveric dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of mixed reality (MR) devices for teaching musculoskeletal anatomy.
  • To compare learning outcomes between MR-based anatomy education and traditional cadaveric dissection.
  • To determine if MR is a viable alternative for anatomy instruction in medical schools.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving medical students divided into cohorts.
  • Students experienced musculoskeletal anatomy learning through either MR or cadaveric dissection.

  • Performance was assessed via practical exams in both MR and cadaver lab environments.

    • Main Results:

    • No statistical difference in average exam scores between MR and cadaveric dissection groups (74.2% vs 73.8%).
    • A strong positive correlation (r=0.74, p<0.01) was observed between MR and cadaver exam scores.
    • Students demonstrated similar performance regardless of the learning modality.

    Conclusions:

    • This study is the first to compare multi-session MR anatomy learning with traditional methods.
    • Mixed reality (MR) provides comparable learning outcomes to cadaveric dissection for medical students.
    • MR technology presents a promising, effective alternative for anatomy education.
