Anatomy into the future.
The necessary increase in the clinical components of the medical curriculum has created pressure to reduce the amount of time spent on basic science, particularly the detailed learning of anatomy. Methods of learning must be re-evaluated, but departments will be constrained by resources available. The clinical aspects of anatomy should form the principles of a core course, with a limit to the wider anatomical knowledge required. Feedback from the students is recommended as an initial form of monitoring the course. (Ref. 13.)
