    Medical students in a multimedia gross anatomy program learned human anatomy effectively. This experimental approach, using audiovisuals and prosection tutorials, proved comparable to traditional lecture-dissection methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Anatomy Education
    • Multimedia Learning

    Background:

    • Traditional gross anatomy education relies on lectures and dissection.
    • Innovations in medical education seek to enhance learning outcomes.
    • Multimedia approaches offer alternative pedagogical strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of an experimental multimedia gross anatomy program.
    • To compare student learning in a multimedia program versus a traditional program.
    • To assess anatomical knowledge acquisition using standardized examinations.

    Main Methods:

    • Freshman medical students participated in either a multimedia program or a traditional lecture-dissection program.
    • The multimedia program incorporated audiovisuals, computer-assisted instruction, and prosection tutorials.

  • Student performance was assessed via intramural and extramural written and practical examinations.

    • Main Results:

    • Students in the experimental multimedia program showed significantly higher performance in six intramural examinations.
    • Students in the traditional program performed significantly better in three intramural examinations.
    • No significant performance differences were observed between the groups on extramural examinations.

    Conclusions:

    • The multimedia gross anatomy program is as effective as the traditional lecture-dissection program in teaching human anatomy.
    • Conventional examinations indicate comparable learning outcomes between the two pedagogical approaches.
    • Prosection tutorials within a multimedia framework provide a viable alternative for anatomy education.
