Overview

Anatomy education encompasses the teaching and learning of human body structure across medical, surgical, and allied health curricula, serving as a foundational discipline for clinical practice. Research published in the International Journal of Human Anatomy addresses multiple dimensions of this field, including students' perceptions of basic sciences and their relevance to clinical studies, the historical evolution of anatomical techniques such as embalming practices from the fifteenth through eighteenth centuries, and the application of comparative anatomy methods using advanced imaging technologies. The journal has examined specific anatomical regions critical to clinical training, including cranial vault anatomy in newborns, mandibular neurovascular structures, and nerve communications relevant to surgical procedures. Recent work has explored innovative pedagogical approaches, particularly the use of virtual interactive atlases for teaching complex subjects like neuroanatomy and their effects on student learning. Additionally, the journal publishes anatomical descriptions of clinical procedures such as pericardiocentesis, emphasizing the discipline's direct connection to medical and surgical practice. This body of work underscores anatomy education's dual role as both a historical science with evolving methodologies and a practical foundation essential for safe, effective patient care.
