Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anatomy
  • Clinical Sciences

Background:

  • Traditional anatomy courses often lack direct clinical application.
  • Second-year medical students need to bridge foundational anatomy with clinical clerkships.
  • Integrating anatomy learning with clinical scenarios is crucial for medical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a Clinical Anatomy course that connects basic anatomy with clinical clerkships.
  • To illustrate the use of problem-based learning (PBL) in an interdisciplinary anatomy curriculum.
  • To highlight the development of clinical thinking and interprofessional skills in medical students.

Main Methods:

  • Students revisit anatomy concepts through small group discussions of clinical cases.
  • A problem-based learning approach is employed, simulating clinical practice scenarios.

  • Tutors evaluate student progress in knowledge acquisition, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.

    • Main Results:

    • The course facilitates the development of essential clinical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
    • Students enhance their skills in searching for medical knowledge and collaborative teamwork.
    • The interdisciplinary nature of the course promotes horizontal and vertical curriculum integration.

    Conclusions:

    • Problem-based learning in clinical anatomy effectively bridges basic science and clinical practice.
    • The course fosters critical skills necessary for successful medical careers.
    • This educational model supports integrated learning across the medical curriculum.
