As many important nerves emerge from the posterior border of sternocleidomastoid (SCM), it is important to know the morphological anatomy of sternocleidomastoid for surgical as well as radiological purpose. During routine dissection of head and neck for student demonstration, an accessory head of sternocleidomastoid was found arising from the superior surface of the middle third of the clavicle on the right side of the neck. Sternocleidomastoid is a key landmark as it divides the neck into anterior and lateral regions (anterior and posterior triangles respectively. Morphological variations arise due to the complexity of sequential development of any region. SCM is an important surgical landmark for clinicians. A well versed knowledge of its variations can avoid diagnostic and surgical complications.

Background: Researchers on medical educational technologies use learner's feedbacks containing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to develop content and form of training programs in students' learning as a universally approved concept. Objectives: The objectives were to sensitize the first-year postgraduate residents about the publication of research and collect their immediate reflection. Materials and Methods: Feedback was taken from all the 49 participants at the end of the 2-day in-house workshop on “Making an effective research paper.” The data collection tool was unlinked anonymous containing six open-ended questions for immediate postsession evaluation on their futuristic vision on implementation and was analyzed by the researchers. Results: In response to “Comments regarding the research methodology workshop,” more than half agreed on positive aspects of the workshop on improved cognition with relevant information. Overall, favored “best” sessions were “Reference writing,” “Plagiarism check,” and “Search relevant article and write the Literature review.” Regarding the avenue of improvement of the workshop, they stressed on timing of workshop before the synopsis submission of their academic year, pre distribution of reading material, and shorter lengths of sessions. Conclusions: The feedback permitted the participants to echo their candid feelings to meet their learning objective as they rated the workshop constructively for each prompt with gain in broad-based cognitive domain with hopeful attitude for intended practice in their academic growth.
