Gross and Applied Anatomy Pedagogical Approaches in Occupational Therapy Education: A Scoping Review.

With technological advancements, anatomy teaching approaches in occupational therapy education have expanded. However, uncertainty remains regarding the approaches that best optimize academic and practice outcomes in student occupational therapists (OTs). This scoping review mapped the pedagogical approaches used to teach musculoskeletal anatomy to student OTs.

Diamond-Blackfan anemia in adults: In pursuit of a common approach for a rare disease.

Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare bone marrow failure syndrome, usually caused by loss-of function variants in genes encoding ribosomal proteins. The hallmarks of DBA are anemia, congenital anomalies and cancer predisposition. Although DBA usually presents in childhood, the prevalence in later life is increasing due to an expanding repertoire of implicated genes, improvements in genetic diagnosis and increasing life expectancy.

Gross and applied anatomy pedagogical approaches in occupational therapy education: protocol for a scoping review.

Introduction: Historically, dissection is considered the 'gold standard' for teaching foundational anatomy to student occupational therapists. However, many programmes no longer have access to gross anatomy laboratory resources, as it is considered too costly. To address this limitation, applied anatomy instructors have developed innovative novel approaches to teach gross and applied anatomy to student occupational therapists, including live/surface anatomy, medical imaging, and more recently, computer-aided instruction.
