Development of an Optional Art-based Anatomy Workshop Series in a Preclinical Medical Curriculum

We implemented art-based anatomy workshops to enhance engagement and spatial understanding. Sessions included painting the brachial plexus, using pipe cleaners to model gastrointestinal vasculature, and drawing lower extremity neurovasculature. Pre- and post-quizzes administered during the brachial plexus session showed significant improvement, highlighting a creative approach to anatomical knowledge acquisition.
