Abstract:

Objective Under the impetus of curriculum integration mode, the combination of gross anatomy and clinic is the inevitable trend of the development of gross anatomy teaching. How to the combination of gross anatomy and clinic in teaching has been the ultimate goal of our exploration. Methods Through the cooperation with the Department of Spinal Surgery of Union Hospital Affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, we held the “Elite Training Course about Complete Combination of Spinal Endoscopy and Underendoscopy Power Equipments”. Teachers of anatomy, clinicians and equipment engineers discussed the starting point of teaching, the teaching objective , teaching method and make specific teaching plans. Some clinicians and students were invited to participate in the training, conduct questionnaires to the participating clinicians, and conduct followup survey to the participating students to explore the feasibility of this teaching mode. Results The teaching mode of combining anatomy with spinal surgery was feasible. The students had high enthusiasm and good learning effect and gave us good evaluation. Conclusion The teaching mode of gross anatomy combined with clinical practice can increase students' subjective initiative and enable students to master anatomy knowledge systematically in a limited time.
