Study of nonsynchronous online teaching of regional anatomy for international students integrated with medical humanities and local culture during COVID-19 pandemic

UNSTRUCTURED Anatomy, a vital component of medical learning, probably has a long history of all components of formal medical education. Many medical schools have reduced anatomy education and cadaver dissections, as the number of bodies has far outnumbered the growing number of students. Virtual reality in medical teaching is used mainly to increase the efficiency of skill learning. Augmented reality, a rapidly evolving technology, can overlay virtual images onto the actual world, allowing students to see the body's internal structures in a more interactive way. AR-based programs are rapidly being used in medical education because of the adaptability of combining physical and virtual situations. Artificial intelligence can help students learn anatomy by providing personalized learning experiences. Algorithms of AI can analyze student performance data and provide feedback and recommendations to help improve their understanding of anatomy. 3D printed anatomical models can be used in a more tactile and interactive way. These models can be customized to show specific structures or pathologies, allowing students to see them in detail. Virtual dissection technology can provide a more ethical and sustainable alternative to traditional animal dissection. Online resources, Interactive software, haptic technologies, simulations, gamification, mobile apps, and social media can also be used for anatomy teaching if they are properly developed in collaboration with skilled software developers, and thus these technologies can provide more immersive and interactive learning experience, making anatomy education more accessible and enjoyable for students.

The study examines the integration of emerging technologies into anatomy education and focuses on the impact on learning results and student involvement. It uses a comprehensive literature search to identify technologies such as virtual reality, three-dimensional printing of anatomical models, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, virtual dissection, online resources, interactive software, haptic technology, anatomy software, simulation technology, gamification, mobile applications, and social media. The findings reveal that these technologies offer advantages such as enhanced interactive learning experiences, realistic simulations, and adaptability to various learning styles. However, challenges such as cost, ethical concerns, and specialized training accompany their implementation. The study concludes that the integration of advanced technologies in anatomy education has the potential to revolutionize the learning experience, fostering increased accessibility and engagement. The following core competencies are addressed in this article: Medical knowledge, Systems-based practice.
