Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study is to create an original study that guides the anatomy and surgical branches and supports education within the framework of their opinions by raising awareness on this issue in medical faculty students.
Methods: The study was carried out on the fourth, fifth and sixth year medical students of Kafkas University Medicine Faculty in the 2019–2020 academic year. Data collection questions were prepared with a five-point Likert scale. The answers given by the students were automatically analyzed through the web system and the results were obtained through the software
Results: The participation of the students to the opinions of the questions 1, 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12 is quite high (73.2%, 74.6%, 56.3%, 67.6%, 52.1%, 62%). In general, the students want the integration of anatomy into clinical branches in a more up-to-date manner, apart from the traditional anatomy course.
Conclusion: This study was conducted for the importance and awareness of the integration of clinical and anatomy branches with each other. Student opinions were taken to emphasize the importance of the study. Anatomy basis is very important for surgical branches. Apart from classical anatomy education, anatomy education should keep up with technological developments and should be more integrated with clinical branches.
