Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights a gap in medical students' understanding of anatomy and its application in surgery, proposing that integrating drawing with traditional learning can improve retention and comprehension of pelvic anatomy in an OB/GYN context.
- - Third-year medical students participated in an interactive drawing session focused on pelvic anatomy, where they presented and explained related surgical topics, followed by a survey to evaluate their retention and understanding of the material.
- - Results showed that a significant majority of students felt better prepared for surgical rotations after the session, with many reporting enhanced understanding of pelvic anatomy and pathology through drawing, which suggests that this method effectively aids learning.
