“…Third step: Sledgehammer's approach We found that, currently, preclinical students are facing two overwhelming stressors. On the one hand, the covid crisis has detached the students from their teachers and resources [15,18,57]. On the other hand, students need to handle their transition into knowledgeable medical professionals.…”

Background: Anatomy is a symbolic, essential core topic and one of the fundamental pillars of medical and paramedical knowledge. Nevertheless, few exploratory data analyses have focused on how students approach learning anatomy. This study examined how students perceive their learning experience during anatomy lessons and how to make a model which promotes their meaningful learning and professional identity. Methods: Using purposive sampling with maximum variation, we conducted a qualitative content analysis at the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in Iran (2020 to 2021). Twenty-four medical students and twelve faculty members of Iran’s medical science universities were enrolled in the study. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed according to the theme. Results: A conceptual model emerged from the data analysis with the main theme called the blacksmith approach, which included Three sub-themes: (1) making a new forge (adequate preparation and mindful beginning), (2) heating the students’ hearts (considering supporting systems that learners need) and (3) using Sledgehammer’s approach (teaching anatomy by using more active methods and engaging all neuroanatomical regions) and (Using fun for enjoyable learning). All the concepts were related to each other. Conclusion: Medical students experience a challenging fundamental evolution into professional doctors. Educational systems focus primarily on teaching and learning, while students’ transition can be facilitated by a three-step model called the Blacksmith Approach. It best serves as an educational framework for any pivotal, preclinical course capable of helping students acquire new roles and tackle challenges. Further research should be conducted to confirm how hard work leads to satisfying results with the opportunity to create enjoyable learning.
