Human Anatomy in Medical Education: Pedagogical Foundations and Practice
Abstract
This article provides an in-depth analysis of the role of human anatomy in the medical education system and the principles of its effective instruction. The primary objective of teaching anatomy is to equip students with comprehensive theoretical knowledge of the human body and to develop essential practical skills required for their future medical practice. The article explores modern pedagogical strategies, including the use of interactive methods, visual aids, 3D models, and virtual reality (VR) technologies, aimed at enhancing the efficiency of anatomy teaching. The integration of anatomy with other medical sciences is emphasized as a key factor in fostering clinical thinking and analytical reasoning among students. The pedagogical role of anatomy in developing students' independence, critical thinking, and readiness for hands-on medical tasks is also highlighted. The article proposes a balanced teaching approach that combines both innovative and traditional methods to create an engaging and effective learning experience.
