Abstract
Anatomy is the science that deals with knowledge of bodily structures like organs, bones, muscles, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, etc. and it can be studied at gross level or microscopic level. It is the elementary subject for a medical student in learning medical education. Teaching anatomy simply started with the blackboard method and cadaveric dissection, which now has progressed to overhead projectors, power-point presentations, 3D models, virtual dissection, software, and many online applications. Anatomy has been educated using different methods including didactic lectures, practical sessions, based on models, cadaveric dissection & computer-based learning. In the ancient era, learning and teaching were based on the pattern of Adhyan, Adhyapan, Sambhasha, etc. where the Guru used to share his knowledge with his disciples by verbal communication. The subject has undertaken several changes with the adoption of modern effective teaching & learning approaches. Inclusive knowledge of human anatomy emphasizes the understanding & practice of medicine. It is a well-known part of the undergraduate curriculum. This paper aims to review the various traditional and modern anatomy educational methods in the present and future of anatomy education.
