Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the perceived need among surgical residents to revisit their anatomical knowledge and evaluate their attitude towards integrating clinical anatomists into surgical residency program curriculum.

Background: While medical students learn human anatomy during undergraduate years, the practical application of clinically oriented anatomy becomes vital in surgical specialties. However, this aspect has not been adequately addressed in Indian surgical residency programs.

Methods: An 11-item questionnaire, including closed-ended and Likert-scale questions, was administered to 153 surgical residents. Consent was obtained, and responses were collected via Google Forms.

Results: Half of the respondents (50%) felt confident in their self-directed anatomy learning, but 87% believed integrating clinical anatomists would enhance their surgical expertise. Additionally, 88% saw value in revisiting cadaveric dissection. Third-year residents showed a significantly higher inclination towards cadaveric dissection. Deficiencies in the curriculum and time constraints were identified as major barriers.

Conclusion: The study highlights a perceived need among surgical residents to augment their anatomical knowledge, advocating for the integration of clinical anatomists and cadaveric dissection into training. A collaborative approach, emphasizing both horizontal and vertical integration of anatomy, is recommended to enhance surgical education and practice. (Tab. 4, Fig. 1, Ref. 25).

现在是解剖学家进入手术室的时候了吗?他们在住院医师临床解剖教育中的作用:一项针对外科医生的试行前调查研究。
目的:本研究旨在评估外科住院医师对重温解剖学知识的需求,以及他们对将临床解剖学家纳入外科住院医师培训课程的态度:本研究旨在评估外科住院医师对重温解剖学知识的需求,并评估他们对将临床解剖学家纳入外科住院医师培训课程的态度:背景:医科学生在本科期间学习人体解剖学,而临床解剖学的实际应用在外科专业中变得至关重要。然而,印度的外科住院医师培训项目并没有充分考虑到这一点:方法: 对 153 名外科住院医师进行了 11 个项目的问卷调查,其中包括封闭式问题和李克特量表问题。结果:半数受访者(50%)认为印度的外科住院医师培训项目存在问题:结果:一半的受访者(50%)对他们自主学习解剖学有信心,但 87% 的受访者认为,整合临床解剖学家将提高他们的外科专业知识。此外,88%的受访者认为重温尸体解剖很有价值。三年级住院医师明显更倾向于尸体解剖。课程中的不足和时间限制被认为是主要障碍:这项研究强调了外科住院医师对增加解剖知识的需求,提倡将临床解剖学家和尸体解剖纳入培训中。建议采取合作方式,强调解剖学的横向和纵向整合,以加强外科教育和实践。(表 4,图 1,参考文献 25)。
