Video-based Clinical Anatomy Lectures for First Year Medical Students: A Novel Approach
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Lectures are the main mode of delivering a large amount of information to the undergraduate students till date. Traditional anatomy teaching tends to focus more on details rather than its clinical relevance. Aims: The objective was to make students competent in applying and correlating the anatomical knowledge with the clinical conditions and to use videos as an adjunct to teaching clinical anatomy. Settings and Design: This study was a prospective and randomized study. Materials and Methods: For this, two clinical conditions in teaching of the abdomen were selected. A total of 150 first year medical students were divided into two groups by lottery. Group 1 - study group (SG, n = 75) and Group 2 - control group (CG, n = 75). A pretest was conducted for both groups. SG received two interactive video-based clinical anatomy lectures along with traditional gross anatomy lectures (TGL) and dissection. CG received only TGL along with dissection. A post-test in clinical anatomy was conducted for both groups. Statistical Analysis: Independent –“t”/Mann–Whitney test was used to compare the pre- and post-test scores within SG and the post-test scores between groups. Results: There was a statistically significant (P < 0.001) difference in the mean post-test scores of the two groups and also in the pre- and post-test scores of SG students, which demonstrates that video-based clinical anatomy lectures are effective in enabling students to correlate anatomical with clinical information. Conclusion: Interactive, video-based clinical anatomy lectures are effective in enabling students to correlate anatomical and clinical information.
