Modern aspects of continuous anatomy education

Anatomy teaching dates from the time of the earliest Medical schools. Traditional anatomy concept at undergraduate study of medicine is based on cadaveric dissection practice. However, somewhere anatomy education is based on modern technology. Those methods are computer simulation, plastic models etc. In our Department of Anatomy cadaveric dissection is an essential method of anatomy teaching. We have noticed a need for further anatomy education after the undergraduate study, during residency. Learning of anatomy is sometimes included in residency programmes, but not as a practice, only as sort of theoretical reminding. There is a need for official anatomy education governed by anatomists in different fields of surgery and other medical professions such as anesthesiology. Also, there is a need for long-life learning of anatomy through thematic courses in all clinical fields. Such courses should be performed on cadaveric specimens and conducted by professional anatomists. Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Rijeka has more than 50 years of the teaching experience of practice on cadaveric specimens. Such a professional background along with dissection rooms equipped by adequate technology adjusted to clinicians needs, made us recognizable as successful Department of Anatomy and also unique in Croatia.
