Interactive Radiological-Anatomy Supplementary E-Learning: An Alternative Anatomy Learning Tool Amidst Covid-19

Clinical students’ reflections on the preclinical anatomy learning experience

“… 22 These modalities might arguably be best taught in clinical skills laboratory training or during the early phase of clinical training; however, previous studies have reported that introducing basic radiological and clinical procedures in teaching anatomy strengthens anatomy knowledge, enhances radiological and clinical skills, and improves students’ perceptions of the value of learning anatomy. 27 , 46 Hence, to enable the integration of clinical application into the preclinical anatomy curriculum, anatomists must be willing to sacrifice anatomical details and design an instructional blueprint that integrates relevant anatomical concepts with clinical application. 60 Indeed, ongoing efforts among Malaysian anatomists are aimed at the integration of anatomy teaching with clinical practice.…”

“…Furthermore, the use of digital anatomy software and applications has markedly increased since the enforcement of remote learning in the COVID-19 pandemic. 21 , 22 , 27 , 28 Because of financial constraints, anatomy teaching in Malaysia is slightly behind that in Western countries regarding the use of virtual and augmented reality simulation.…”
