Abstract:
The School of Medical Sciences of University Science Malaysia is the pioneer university in Malaysia who introduced the curriculum based on Problem Based Learning (PBL). The basic education strategy practiced by School of Medical Sciences is based on student oriented, problem based, integrated, community oriented, elective and self learning (SPICES). Knowledge of anatomy is the foundation of effective clinical practice so anatomy is presented with appropriate changes during all phases of MD curriculum. Anatomy department is furnished with more than sufficient resource materials but anatomy museum has a unique role to play in integrated based teaching curriculum. Anatomy museum has been arranged on the basis of different modules or systems having plastinated, prosected specimens, video cassettes, models, MRI films, radiographs, ultrasound reports and teaching microscope. For structured living anatomy sessions in the clinical professional skill programmes, a fully equipped clinical skill laboratory is playing a vital role in integrated teaching curriculum of University Science Malaysia.
