8: Achieving Vertical Curriculum Design Using Changes in Medical Imaging and Anatomy Facilitators
Scott Rice, Navin Ramachandran & Deborah Gill - University College London
Workshop Description
This workshop aims to outline methods of successful vertical integration between clinical and basic sciences using imaging and anatomy. Medical imaging has rapidly developed a central role in diagnostic medicine. However, the incorporation of medical imaging as an adjunct to teaching human anatomy has lagged behind in its use in diagnostic clinical practice.
Within the medical educational literature there are several studies that demonstrate the integration of medical imaging teaching within the undergraduate curriculum is increases clinical contextualisation of anatomy teaching and, in particular, has been shown to increase understanding of cross-sectional & surface anatomy. In response to the current climate within medical education, as well as technological advances and student expectations, innovative approaches to anatomy and imaging teaching are required. The workshop will consider the human, cultural and technological facilitators and barriers to successful implementation.
Workshop Objectives This workshop aims to help participants consider ways to develop a framework of vertically integrating clinical anatomy in their own HEI with the developing and increasingly sophisticated changes in clinical imaging in human health and disease.
Specifically, the workshop will;
