title: What should be taught in anatomy?
abstract: The aim of the undergraduate course in topographical anatomy should be to enable the student more meaningfully to carry out a physical medical examination, and to become familiar with the normal, thus providing the intellectual and technical background for later study of the abnormal. Attendance at postgraduate courses should be compulsory for admission to postgraduate surgical examinations; such courses should be complementary, not supplementary, to undergraduate courses.
