Use of 3-d models in medical education.
This article provides a personal account of the way one medical teacher uses cheap, easily-made models in the education of medical undergraduates and postgraduate vocational trainees. It deals with plastic bas-relief models, paper models, plaster of paris models, and models used in endoscopy training. Successful use of such models depends upon their simplicity and on the enthusiasm of the instructor.
