Clinical Procedures as a Tool for Teaching Region-Specific Gross Anatomy to First-Year Medical Students
Integration of clinical procedures into the pre-clinical basic science curriculum is a unique teaching tool that allows for experiential learning within the framework of clinical skills development. Although time available to properly teach the curriculum is restricted, there has been a call for a more direct relation of gross anatomy content to clinical application. Few studies addressing the benefits of the incorporation of clinical procedures into first-year gross anatomy have been completed, but it is clear that students overwhelmingly agree that early introduction of clinical skills into the medical curriculum is beneficial to their learning. We hypothesize that the addition of clinical procedures to the gross anatomy lab will facilitate deeper learning and provide clinical context and relevance, while not adding appreciably to the time required for instruction.
