Introduction Students’ perceptions and feedback have a significant impact on academic progress. Objective To assess the attitude and perception of medical students towards histology subject at Wollo University, Northern Ethiopia. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study design was carried out in Wollo University from January, 2021 to February, 2021. A pre-tested and structured self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. All opinions were rated using a positive-point Likert scale, which ranges from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.” The data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results A total of 184 students participated in this study, with a 100% response rate. Of the respondents, 84.24% of them were very much interested in histology subject. However, only 31 (16.85%) thought of histology as a career choice. The two major reason for not joining histology was less chance of promotion (65, 35.33%) and financial growth (41, 22.28%) followed by difficulty of the subject (23, 12.5%). Most of the respondents (155, 84.24%) agreed or strongly agreed that histology knowledge will help them a lot in their future clinical practice. Regarding different methods of teaching histology, our study reveals that there were 82.61% of participants who agreed with the proposed integration of histology and pathology. Moreover, system approach in teaching pathology with other disciplines was preferred by 70.1% and was comparable to several studies. Conclusion Overall, the study findings indicate that medical students have a favorable attitude toward histology courses. But, they are unable to join the field due to the lower chance of promotion and financial growth. The curricular integration of histology and pathology in the first year needs to be continued, and much effort is needed to increase students’ affinity for microscopic anatomy. This evidence serves as an additional motive for the development of histology courses focusing on practical application of knowledge in a clinically oriented setting.

“…Therefore, a total of 572 questions were included in the study, 281 questions from Paper I and 291 questions from Paper II. Every segment of the questions in a paper was categorized as recall, understanding or application types as described elsewhere [9]. Then the total number of marks allocated for each of the type of questions in a paper were calculated and compared with the total marks (98) allocated for the questions in a paper.…”

Background and objective: Short answer question (SAQ) format has been introduced as a major component of summative professional examinations of MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery) course in Bangladesh over a decade. No systematic evaluation has yet been conducted on implementation of SAQ as directed in curriculum to assess the medical students in the summative examination of MBBS course. The present study assessed the weightage given to the different components of cognitive domain in SAQs in anatomy in first Professional MBBS Examination under the University of Dhaka. Materials and method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Ibrahim Medical College. Anatomy SAQ papers, Paper I and Paper II, from January 2009 to July 2014 of University of Dhaka were selected. A total of 24 SAQ papers containing 572 questions were included in this study. Every question in a paper was categorized as recall, understanding application types. Then the total number of marks allocated for each of the type of questions were calculated and compared with the total marks (98) allocated for the questions in a paper. Then the resultant weightage of marks were compared with the curricular directive weightage of marks allotted for SAQ. Result: On analysis it was found that during the period from 2009 to 2014 76.58% and 23.42% SAQ were recall and understanding types respectively. No question was found to assess the application component of the cognitive domain of the students. Conclusion: The study revealed that SAQ introduced as an assessment tool in undergraduate medical curriculum was not properly implemented and its desired objectives were not fully achieved.
