Abstract

Anatomy is an essential subject for students in medical and health sciences, but traditional methods of teaching anatomy have limitations. Alternative methods of teaching anatomy have been explored to overcome these limitations and enhance student learning. This review paper summarizes the current state of alternative methods for educating students about anatomy and discusses future directions in this field. The five subheadings of this paper include: (1) Virtual and augmented reality, (2) Three-dimensional printing, (3) Anatomical models and atlases, (4) Team-based learning, and (5) Integrating clinical cases. Each subheading highlights the advantages and limitations of the respective method, as well as its effectiveness in teaching anatomy. Finally, this paper concludes with a discussion of the future directions for alternative methods of teaching anatomy, including personalized learning and the use of artificial intelligence. In conclusion, anatomy training is essential to medical education, and teachers can use several methods to improve student learning. Every tactic has pros and cons, so instructors must carefully consider which will work best for their pupils. Gamification, 3D printing, and AI in anatomy instruction must be researched by educators. These methods can make anatomy lessons more engaging and prepare students for clinical practise. Alternate anatomy teaching methods can improve student learning and clinical practise. Medical education must include anatomy. Using cutting-edge technologies and teaching methods, educators can improve student learning and patient care.
