Measuring the effectiveness of a radiology-based lecture series on both confidence and career prospects of UK-based undergraduate medical students: a survey-based quantitative study.

Aims: Studies investigating Radiology Teaching within the undergraduate population suggest that medical students do not feel adequately trained in radiological scan interpretation. This study aims to address this shortfall by designing and evaluating a longitudinal teaching series based upon the nationally recognised RCR Curriculum. By doing this, a framework can be provided for other centres to reproduce and develop their own teaching programme.

The Use of Ultrasound in Undergraduate Medical Anatomy Education: a Systematic Review with Narrative Synthesis.

This systematic review aimed to synthesize the literature on how ultrasound is currently used in anatomy education within medical schools. A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, and Educational Resources Information Centre was conducted. Thirty-four relevant unique articles were included from the 1,272 identified from the databases and analyzed via narrative synthesis.

How comprehensive are research studies investigating the efficacy of technology-enhanced learning resources in anatomy education? A systematic review.

Anatomy education is at the forefront of integrating innovative technologies into its curricula. However, despite this rise in technology numerous authors have commented on the shortfall in efficacy studies to assess the impact such technology-enhanced learning (TEL) resources have on learning. To assess the range of evaluation approaches to TEL across anatomy education, a systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE, the Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC), Scopus, and Google Scholar, with a total of 3,345 articles retrieved.

Innovative taught MSc in Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy.

A relatively new, fully accredited MSc in Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy, is now offered through a joint collaboration with the Laboratory of Human Anatomy, University of Glasgow and the Digital Design Studio, Glasgow School of Art. This degree combines training in digital technologies and intensive human anatomy training as a result of a long-standing successful partnership between these two esteemed institutes. The student also has to complete a research dissertation which encompasses both the digital perspective and a related medical, dental, surgical, veterinary (comparative anatomy) or life science specialty to enhance development in the digital field for a variety of specialties.
