Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to identify college facility related factors affecting medical students’ academic performance in human anatomy course. Result: A total of 120 study participants were included in the study. Off which 81 (67.5%) were male while 39 (32.5%) were females. Dormitory crowdedness (AOR 3.16 (95% CI: 2.01-.83, p= 0.11), large class size (AOR = 2.36; 95%CI: 1.11- 4.64 p = 0.005), inadequate classroom facilities (AOR = 1.56; 95%CI: 1.51-4.91, p = 0.001), low internet access (AOR = 1.99; 95%CI: 1.07-3.22, p = 0.015) and inadequate anatomy teaching model (AOR = 2.63; 95%CI: 1.17 - 6.12, p =0.003) were significantly associated with low performance in human anatomy course exam. However, college library (AOR = 0.23; 95%CI: 0.1-0.48 p = 0.061) did not showed significant association with academic performance (p = 0.61). As a conclusion, dormitory crowdedness, large class size, inadequate classroom facilities, low internet access and inadequate anatomy-teaching models were independent factors, which affect performance of medical students in human anatomy course exam. However, there was no significant association between college library and performance of study participants in human anatomy course exam.

INTRODUCTION An increasing number of digital technologies have been introduced which assist in some practical aspects of the teaching and learning of Human Anatomy. For modern-day students, more and more cross-sectional images of the human body are available as materials in their studies. Digital 2D images and/or 3D images such as high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance (MR) have been received with much enthusiasm and have found their way into anatomy courses and practical classes. An emphasis on sectional anatomy can help medical students develop and improve their knowledge of cross‐sectional imaging. The aim of this study was to assess and verify the impact of cross-sectional images on the study of Human Anatomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS 200 medical students in their 2nd study year at Rīga Stradiņš University were included in this investigation in 2018. In practical classes, all students were asked by tutors to identify several anatomical structures using "Anatomage", a 3D virtual dissection table (USA). They were randomly divided into two groups: Group I analysed cross-sectional images of the human body after cutting and segmentation with interactive tools; Group II studied X-rays, CT scans and MRI images of different regions and systems. Similar images in all possible cross-sectional planes were displayed. The pathological findings from the cross-sectional images were used to develop several clinical questions and cases. At the beginning of each practical class, the tutor spent about 30 minutes demonstrating the themes in the images to all the students. At the end of the teaching session, their understanding of the relationships between anatomical structures and the rate of cross-sectional image effectiveness among both groups was assessed by means of discussion. RESULTS By this time, students were able to identify the position of bones and organs from the lectures, practical classes and dissections. The majority of students recognized the landmarks, anatomical structures and relationships between them on cross-sectional images in three planes. By removing different kinds of tissue, students in both groups were able to learn more difficult anatomical topics and to explain details in these complicated regions. Self-assessment exercises helped students verify their understanding of topographical relations and regional anatomy. In these groups, students with less prior anatomy experience wanted to focus more on the basics of anatomy whereas students with more prior anatomy experience wanted to see and study more complex and interactive materials in cross-sectional images. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated the role of the 3D virtual dissection table "Anatomage" in facilitating students' ability to interpret cross-sectional images and understand the relationships between different anatomical structures. All the X-rays, CT scans and MRI cross-sectional images used played an important role in the teaching and learning of Human Anatomy. Skills and the ability to interpret these medical images is important for the application of anatomical knowledge right from basic studies until clinical courses.

Anatomical Knowledge

Human anatomy is one of the fundamental disciplines for the training of health professionals, especially in the medical field. Its didactic origin is based on the European school where the body was dissected in amphitheaters and anatomical knowledge was transmitted from the teacher to his students. With the restructuring of medical curricula, and the use of active methodologies, seeking to make the student the center of the learning process, anatomy started to be taught in another way. This study carries out an integrative review in the Scielo, Science Direct and Google Scholar databases, from 2015 to 2020, about the active methodologies used in the teaching of human anatomy for the medical course. The PICo strategy was used to form the guiding question and the results were presented through the Prisma Flow diagram. It was found that there are a number of tools and strategies that can be used aiming at the active teaching of human anatomy, however, a common point observed in most works is the approach of joint use with cadavers and anatomical parts, thus seeking to stimulate the development of the skills and competences of medical students.

Bull's Eye

The lack of a sufficient amount of anatomical material in Ukrainian medical universities has led to the fact that medical students have to work with the bodies of long-dead people whose condition is of a low educational value. Therefore, animal organs are becoming increasingly important in teaching anatomical disciplines. For example, when studying the eyeball at the department of human anatomy, a bull's eye is used; organs of pigs and rats (larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, heart, etc.) are used for the purpose of comparative anatomy. Working with the heart of animals, students can learn to suture wounds of the heart using various surgical techniques, perform mitral commissurotomy. To put various types of liver sutures and to perform on liver resection at practical classes, pork or beef liver can be successfully used. Isolated stomach and intestines are indispensable for developing skills of surgical interventions on the hollow organs of the gastrointestinal tract. When studying a human skeleton, it is very helpful to use mock-ups that were obtained using a 3D printer that arouses the interest of students and increases the effectiveness of practical training. In the absence of anatomical material, medical students use the latest computer technology that allows them to study the human body in three dimensions. However, technical means make it possible to obtain only visual information, ignoring the volumetric and spatial characteristics of the objects under study that is their considerable drawback.

The importance of autopsies in medical education is multidimensional. In accordance with the existing medical curriculum in India, forensic medicine is a subject taken up during the second year of the MBBS, and undergraduate students of medicine are expected to witness a minimum of 10 autopsies during the third to fifth semesters. This research analyses the perceptions of medical students towards medico-legal autopsy teaching and its significance at one medical institution in India. A total of 450 MBBS students participated in the study and submitted their responses to the predesigned semi-structured 20-point questionnaire on autopsy viewing and its relevance in general. The obtained data were analysed statistically using SPSS software. More than 75% of students agreed that they could appreciate the actual morphology and pathological changes in the human organs. There was a positive response from 54.9% students, who affirmed that autopsy helped refresh and improve their knowledge of human anatomy. More than 60% students agreed to have gained understanding of clinical–pathological correlations and became acquainted with death certification. The majority of the students (53.6%) agreed that autopsy postings made them mentally and emotionally stronger. The present study provides useful evidence regarding the perceptions of medical students towards autopsy teaching, and intends to highlight the utility of autopsies in enhancing the knowledge of medical students and its significance in the medical education curriculum.
