ENHANCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ANATOMY EDUCATION THROUGH MODERN VISUAL TECHNOLOGIES
Anatomy, as one of the fundamental disciplines in medical education, plays a critical role in shaping the foundational knowledge of future healthcare professionals. Traditional methods of teaching anatomy, primarily based on cadaver dissection and textbook illustrations, often face limitations in terms of accessibility, interactivity, and student engagement. In recent years, the integration of modern visual technologies — such as 3D modeling, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) — has revolutionized the way anatomical content is delivered and perceived. These innovations offer immersive and dynamic learning experiences, allowing students to explore complex anatomical structures in greater detail and within a clinically relevant context.
This shift aligns with global trends in medical pedagogy that emphasize active learning, digital literacy, and personalized educational approaches. Moreover, visual technologies contribute to better spatial understanding, knowledge retention, and learner satisfaction. Despite their growing popularity, there is a need for more structured implementation and evidence-based evaluation of their impact on educational outcomes. This article explores the potential of modern visual tools in anatomy teaching and discusses strategies for their effective integration into the medical curriculum.
