Investigation of the Perspectives of Medical Faculty Students in Different Terms on Anatomy Education

Abstract

Aim: The science of anatomy, which has a great importance in medical and health sciences, examines the human body, the systems that make up the body, the organs that make up the systems and the relations of organs with each other. As a cornerstone of medical education, students' perspectives on anatomy evolve with technological advancements and their journey to becoming physicians. The aim of this study is to investigate of the perspectives of medical faculty students in different terms on anatomy education. Material and Methods: A total of 557 medical faculty students from Terms I to VI participated in the study.The survey prepared in Google Forms was sent to the students online via the WhatsApp application. Descriptive statistical analyses were used on the data. Results: Analysis revealed that Term I-III students valued anatomy education more, while Term IV-VI students prioritized clinical practices. Term I-III students saw cadaver-based anatomy education as professionally important, whereas Term IV-VI students favored using 3-D anatomy materials in education. Conclusion: We believe the anatomy curriculum should be reviewed and updated to enhance students' professional development. Integrating clinical sciences into a multidisciplinary approach may shift the perspectives of Term IV-VI students. This study will serve as a valuable resource for future research in medical and health sciences education.
