Evaluating Musculoskeletal Anatomy Knowledge Among Medical Students: Comparison of Anatomy Examination Scores Between Three Cohorts
A combined approach using both pre-examination review by the anatomy department and clinical teaching led by a physiatrist (Intervention C) significantly improved MSK anatomy examination performance. These findings support synchronized, multimodal teaching to enhance anatomy knowledge. Future studies should assess long-term effects on clinical skills and knowledge retention.
