Abstract:
Knowledge of anatomy is crucial for safe and efficient
clinical practice. Therefore, it is important to have a
structured curriculum and teaching methodologies
for efficient learning by the students. In this context,
curriculum should be reformed based on students’
feedback and expert opinions. This descriptive cross-
sectional study was to assess the perceptions of medical
students regarding the anatomy curriculum and its
relevance to clinical activities based on the feedback
of gross anatomy teaching from medical students of
para clincal and clinical studies. A Self-administered
questionnaire was used to collect data from 319 students.
Nearly 65 – 71 % of the students have mentioned that the
time allocated to learn anatomy is sufficient for them.
Nearly 86 % of the students have commented to have
case-based learning to improve the clinical relevance of
anatomy. Regarding the assessment, 75 % of students
said to include more case scenarios in essay.
Results of our study demonstrated that anatomy syllabus
is adequate to integrate with clinical practice and the
time allocated to learn anatomy is sufficient.
