Synopsis

Modern medical school human anatomy teaching frequently leads to students adopting surface learning approaches, such a memorizing lists of structures through mnemonics. This can be avoided by situating anatomy within the domains of evolution, embryology or clinical medicine, which provide understanding and application in ways that encourage deep learning approaches. Examinations in anatomy can also be structured to reward higher learning outcomes through the Biggs and Collis model of 'SOLO Taxonomy'. This book summarises the author's personal experiences of applying current theories in educational research to develop more advanced anatomy teaching methods and would be relevant for teachers of anatomy across a variety of disciplines.
