Medical Gross Anatomy for Large Classes in a \u27Flipped\u27 Classroom

Medical gross anatomy is under pressures from curriculum change, advances in technology and class size. Our innovations involve a fundamental change in student involvement. Students are now engaged with self-instruction of introductory material via custom-made videos; active group dissections with integrated clinical correlations; functional/clinical didactic material and self-assessment quizzes. Also, a longitudinal, self-directed group exercise (called “Cadaver Rounds”) utilizes their cadaver as their “first patient” involves dissection, CT scans, Path samples and physical exams to present a final report of a plausible clinical condition their cadaver experienced. Ultimately, these changes “flipped” the classroom for Medical gross anatomy
