The morphome and EDI in anatomy education: A systematic scoping review and expert recommendations

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic scoping review to elucidate the definitions of the morphome and the phenome, and to explore the implications of the morphome for EDI in anatomy education. Integrating the morphome, particularly through VR/AR and 3D printing, may provide a rigorous, positivist framework for capturing and teaching anatomical diversity, and for advancing EDI principles in anatomy education.

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic scoping review to elucidate the definitions of the morphome and the phenome, and to explore the implications of the morphome for EDI in anatomy education. Integrating the morphome, particularly through VR/AR and 3D printing, may provide a rigorous, positivist framework for capturing and teaching anatomical diversity, and for advancing EDI principles in anatomy education.
