Invisible women in anatomy: Medical students’ perceptions of sex representation in anatomical atlases
Medical students are aware of sex imbalance in anatomical atlases, with female students showing greater sensitivity to this issue. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating students' perspectives into discussions of anatomical education and support the need for more balanced and inclusive visual representations in teaching materials.
