Abstract
Introduction: In recent years, an integrated approach is adopted in many universities for use of anatomy in clinical teaching. Therefore it is rational to have hands on experience on specially embalmed cadavers before starting surgery on living human beings. So this study was undertaken to evaluate faculty perspectives regarding effective use of clinical anatomy in teaching of clinical subjects. Objectives: 1. To study perspectives of faculties regarding integrated approach in clinical teaching by incorporating it with clinical anatomy teaching. 2. To evaluate effectiveness of use of clinical anatomy in clinical teaching. Material and Methods: In this study we used specially embalmed cadavers for use of postgraduate teaching of surgeries. In the department of Anatomy, clinical teachers performed demonstrative surgeries on cadavers with simultaneous teaching with the help of anatomist. Results: All teachers from clinical subjects as well as anatomy opined that use of clinical anatomy can boost confidence and minimize intraoperative complications. They also mentioned such kind of training gives necessary anatomical knowledge which is foundation for excellence in clinical procedures. Conclusion: In conclusion clinical Anatomy can be used effectively in the beginning if post graduate education of clinical subjects.
