Description
Summary:Human anatomy is not just a subject at the level of basic sciences, but also it forms the foundation of medical and allied health sciences. A thorough understanding of the structure of the human body is crucial for students to diagnose and treat various health conditions. Hence, providing a deep insight into the subject with more hours dedicated to practical sessions was the trend followed in previous times. The reduction of teaching hours for anatomy as a part of curriculum change, the difficulty faced by the students to learn the subject within a short span, and the emphasis on anatomy faculty to make it interesting have led to the adoption of various modern teaching strategies and technology to complete the task. The article intends to discuss the contemporary methods of teaching and learning anatomy, elaborating the wide range of approaches and techniques.
