Practical postgraduate teaching in Human Anatomy: A review

Anatomy is a fundamental subject for both medical and surgical training. Anatomy departments might collaborate with clinicians organizing continuing medical education (CME) and other professional development courses. The courses should have a large practical component (in content and organization) but also should provide the latest scientifically based theoretical knowledge, respecting the learning of anatomy as well as aiming at performing different techniques. Anatomy departments should support these courses by establishing hands-on practical training courses and components.
