“…Also, in large animal anatomy, creative avenues have been explored to make the teaching more alive such as the use of garment to cover live horses (Fig. 2.4) and depict their anatomy (Sattin et al 2018) instead of body painting (Senos et al 2015). Simulators for injection in the horse jugular vein have also been evaluated (Eichel et al 2013).…”

All learning is in the learner, not the teacher." Plato was right. The adage has passed the test of time and is still true in an era where technology accompanies us in not only professional but also recreational life every day, everywhere. On the other hand, the learner has evolved and so have the sources being used to satisfy curiosity and learning. It therefore appears intuitive to embrace these technological advances to bring knowledge to our pupils with the aim to facilitate learning and improve performance. It must be clear that these technologies are not intended to replace but rather consolidate knowledge partly acquired during more conventional teaching of anatomy. Veterinary medicine is no outlier. Educating students to the complexity of anatomy in multiple species requires that three-dimensional concepts be taught and understood accurately if appropriate treatment is to be set in place thereafter. Veterinary anatomy education has up to recently walked diligently in the footsteps of John Hunter's medical teaching using specimens, textbooks, and drawings. The discipline has yet to embrace fully the benefits of advancement being made in technology for the benefit of its learners. Three-dimensional representation of anatomy is undeniably a logical and correct way to teach whether it is through the demonstration of cadaveric specimen or alternate reality using smartphones, tablets, headsets or other digital media. Here we review some key aspects of the evolution of educational technology in veterinary anatomy.

“…It is necessary to follow the continuum between mechanical and meaningful learning so that students, future professionals, can understand why that form and position. Another important tool in the process of teaching and learning Anatomy is the technique of bodypainting that has great potential to use, as well as classic methods to teach Human and Veterinary Anatomy, thus being an important methodology to replace traditional education and lack of cadaver [27,28]. The cadaveric material is the first choice tool for the teaching and learning process, but there are challenges to reintegrating the most effective teaching and learning tools while maintaining the beneficial values of orthodox dissection [29,30].…”

“…It is a highly captivating and fun approach for students to learn human anatomy by observing, identifying surface anatomy features, palpating, drawing, and then painting [4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][16][17][18]. BP has also been used successfully in veterinary anatomy on horses [25].…”

Beyond the Classroom: Inspiring Medical and Health Science Students to Learn Surface Anatomy

This qualitative and quantitative study offered students the opportunity to participate in engaging and inspiring activities “outside the classroom”, to extend their experience and knowledge of surface anatomy. Medical and health science students benefit from studying surface anatomy as it is relevant to their future professions that deal with patients and clients. Surface anatomy is an essential part of the learning process that allows students an opportunity to identify anatomical structures on living people and to develop their palpation and tactile skills for physical examinations of patients. Body painting is a student-centred, engaging, and motivating approach to learn surface anatomy in anatomy practical classes. In this study, anatomy learning was extended “beyond the classroom” through extra-curricular body painting projects. These projects were run by student teams consisting of a student model, student artists (4–5), and a student photographer, under the direction of the chief investigator. A total of sixteen body painting projects were carried out from 2010 to show the skeletal system, the muscular system, pregnancy, respiratory and gastrointestinal systems, and the neurovascular systems of the entire body. A SurveyMonkey of 31/41 active participants suggested that participants enjoyed the projects (94–100%), found them relevant to their future profession (80–87%), and considered them to assist with deeper understanding (94%) and long-term memory (93%) of anatomy. Learning anatomy outside the classroom through extra-curricular body painting projects was a successful way to engage, motivate, and inspire participants and first year anatomy students to study surface anatomy and to develop their physical examination skills.

Acceptance of the bodypainting as supportive method to learn the surface locomotor apparatus anatomy of the horse

Abstract: 33.9 ± 19.8% and 69.0 ± 18.4%, respectively (p < 0.001). We concluded that bodypainting has great potential for support the classic lectures of the equine locomotor apparatus. (Folia Morphol 2015; 74, 4: 503-507)
