How to teach the anatomy of the inguinal canal? A multimodal approach
As a supplement to didactic teaching of the inguinal canal, model creation was well-received, and provided opportunities for experiential learning. However, the usefulness of modelling in learning the anatomy and pathologies of inguinal canal was insignificant. Our research design was inadequate in showing long term gain. Additionally, results from group model creation could be affected by the dynamics amongst members. Future work should aim to address these issues.
