Abstract EN
Current generations of graduate students have been immersed in technology from their early school years and have high expectations regarding digital resources.
To better meet the expectations of Gross Anatomy students at our institution, electronic radiology teaching files for first-year coursework were organized into a web site.
The web site was custom designed to provide material that directly correlated to the Gross Anatomy dissection and lectures.
Quick links provided sets of images grouped by anatomic location.
Additionally, Lab and Study Companions provided specific material for the students to review prior to and after lectures and gross dissections.
Student opinions of this education resource were compared to student opinions of the prior year’s digital teaching files.
The new content was ranked as more user friendly (3.1 points versus 2.3 points) and more useful for learning anatomy (3.3 points versus 2.6 points).
Many students reported that using the web portal was critical in helping them to better understand relationships of anatomical structures.
These findings suggest that a well-organized web portal can provide a user-friendly, valuable educational resource for medical students who are studying Gross Anatomy.
