“…Authors suggested that otolaryngologists assist with experiential teaching through dissection and provide didactic lectures to increase students' exposure to specialists. A 2015 US study evaluated second‐year medical students' comfort levels with performing head and neck examination, and found that instruction improved comfort, although this diminished at 1 year for the nasal examination. A third US study of nine medical students and nine junior residents found that three‐dimensional educational modules were effective in teaching spatial orientation and sinus and skull base anatomy.…”

“…This suggests a need for widespread evaluation of the medical school curriculum. 15,17,18 We sought to assess medical students' perceptions of ophthalmology training at New York University School of Medicine (NYUSOM), where there is no mandatory ophthalmology clinical rotation. Similar to many other schools, NYUSOM currently trains students in clinical ophthalmology skills during preclinical years, has a student interest group, and offers an optional clinical rotation but does not require one.…”

There is no national standard for ophthalmology curricula in U.S. and Canadian medical schools, and over the past 15 years, fewer schools are requiring ophthalmology rotations. AbstractPurpose There is no national standard for ophthalmology curricula in U.S. and Canadian medical schools. We aim to evaluate medical students' perceptions of the current ophthalmology curriculum without mandatory rotation at New York University School of Medicine (NYUSOM). Design A cross-sectional Internet survey. Methods A cross-sectional Internet survey was distributed to all NYUSOM students in March to May 2017. The main parameters measured in the study were students' selfreported confidence with ophthalmology skills and satisfaction with curriculum.Results Response rate was 27.5% (166 of 604) of NYUSOM students. Many students reported they were not comfortable diagnosing eye emergencies (64%), using a direct ophthalmoscope (71%), or testing visual acuity (50%). The majority of students did not want ophthalmology to become a mandatory rotation, but reported additional inperson training would be most helpful, compared with videos, web-based didactics, lectures, or virtual training. Completion of an ophthalmology elective and more hours of ophthalmology training were associated with increased confidence with eye examination and greater satisfaction with the curriculum. Conclusions It is critical for all physicians-in-training to have adequate skills in eye examination. Identifying areas of improvement and determining the best teaching modality will be important in updating the ophthalmology curriculum for medical students. The majority of medical students are not at all or only slightly confident with eye examinations. Increasing the amount of in-person ophthalmology training in medical school improves confidence with eye examination.

“…But besides these teaching peculiarities, our practical training is programmed and coordinated with the theoretical contents, in the same way as it should be done in any other subject. The peculiarity resides in the fact that in these practical activities we use models (dissected corpses, plastinated corpses or materials and plastic commercial models) that need to be thoroughly defined and discussed [7,9,10]. During the activities, a detailed description of the used materials is made, using the concepts that were previously taught in theoretical classes.…”

A classical model of educational cooperation in Human Anatomy: the Table Leaders

This project has been developed for many years in the Human Anatomy courses. Its good outcomes have been confirmed by years of evidence of excellent results obtained through the learning of Human Anatomy. This method of teaching and learning as one allows students who are taking Human Anatomy classes to receive practical training in small groups and transmit it to their colleagues in the practical training established in the Medical degree. Table Leaders feel rewarded as they learn to speak in public, regularly transmitting the knowledge obtained, and by having to be up to date with their studies. These are all aspects that help, not only the Table Leaders process of learning, but also that of their colleagues, who see closely and carefully anatomical details that help them understand the subject. This method of supporting practical training is always under the supervision of the teacher who develops the practical classes. These Leaders used to pass the test without additional problems. Thus the note was significantly increased versus the class colleagues.
