Team based Teaching: Strategy to Learn Anatomy in Large Group
Strategy to Learn Anatomy in Large Group
Keywords:
Anatomy, Teaching, Team based Learning
Abstract
Anatomy teaching is the fundamentals for pre-clinical years in medical institutes. Many medical school delivered anatomy content thru cadaveric dissection, prosecuted bodies or plastic models or even 3D visualization in small as well as in large group sessions the theoretical content delivered predominantly through large group teaching. Due to the increased number of students, limitations of cadaveric bodies and increase number of contact session and shortage of trained anatomist resulted in the overcrowding and teacher – centered formats.
