Using Drawing Assignments to Improve the Effectiveness of After-Class Review for Regional Anatomy

Regional Anatomy is a compulsory clinical course for medical students, focusing on morphological science. The study of the adjacency and layers of human morphological structures should always be illustrated with images. Based on the “blended teaching model” implemented by the teaching and research section, the research team effectively adopted the traditional drawing method and carried out after-class consolidation of the Regional Anatomy course through drawing assignments via the Xuexitong APP for clinical students of the 2022 cohort. Results showed that compared with the control group, the experimental group with after-class drawing assignments achieved significantly higher scores in both specimen practice assessments and final theoretical exams. This study aims to retain the advantages of traditional teaching models while accumulating experience for the application of blended teaching models in teaching practice.
