Integration of clinical problems in teaching gross anatomy: Living anatomy, X‐ray anatomy, patient presentations, and films depicting clinical problems

Abstract

In addition to lectures and the dissection course, four supplements are described to stimulate first‐year medical students to learn gross anatomy. All topics are coordinated with the dissection course. The additional options are living anatomy, X‐ray anatomy by a roentgenologist, presentation of patients by clinicians, and films on clinical problems. This integrated curriculum of basic and applied anatomy generates a high level of student interest in gross anatomy.
