Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anatomy Teaching
  • Problem-Based Learning

Background:

  • Traditional anatomy teaching methods may not fully engage students in critical thinking.
  • There is a need for innovative pedagogical approaches in medical education.
  • Clinical case integration can enhance the relevance of basic science learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel anatomy course integrating clinical case studies.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a guided learning protocol for anatomy students.
  • To assess the impact of the course on students' problem-solving and communication skills.

Main Methods:

  • Students reviewed clinical cases and identified keywords related to their knowledge gaps.
  • A structured protocol guided students through information-gathering stations (e.g., specimens, radiological images).

  • Students finalized their answers, allowing tutors to assess knowledge acquisition and learning.

    • Main Results:

    • The keyword analysis enabled tutors to gauge initial student knowledge.
    • Final answers confirmed learning and demonstrated improved problem-solving abilities.
    • Students reported enhanced self-identification of deficiencies and development of learning strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • The described course effectively enhances anatomy learning through clinical case integration.
    • The protocol fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills in medical students.
    • This educational model is adaptable for various disciplines beyond second-year anatomy.
