The place of anatomy in medical education: AMEE Guide no 41 (Russian version edited by V.A. Karanasheva)
Abstract
This Guide, a combined work by three authors from different countries, provides perspectives into the history of teaching gross anatomy, briefly, from the earliest of times, through to a detailed examination of curricula in both traditional didactic approaches and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) curricula. The delivery of a module within a curriculum in tertiary education is interplay between the content (knowledge and skills) of a subject, the teaching staff involved, the students and their approaches to learning, and the philosophy underpinning the delivery of the learning material. The work is divided into sections that deal with approaches to learning anatomy from the perspective of students, to delivery of the content of the curriculum by lecturers, including the assessment of knowledge, and itemises the topics that could be considered important for an appropriate anatomy module in an integrated course, delivered in a way that emphasises clinical application. The work concludes by looking to the future, and considering what measures may need to be addressed to ensure the continued development of anatomy as a clinically relevant subject in any medical curriculum.

Effective teaching through active learning (Russian version edited by Z.Z. Balkizov)
Abstract
There can be very few practitioners whose daily working life is not involved someway in teaching or learning. Used in its broadest sense, we engage teaching everyday in our advice to patients, and conversely we learn from each of our patients. As we move inexorably towards compulsory reaccredidation for all practitioners, purposeful and effective continuing professional development takes over from the previously passive continuing medical education model. As Universities and Medical Schools recognise where most healthcare occurs and see the benefits of situation-based and community-based education, increasing numbers of undergraduate and postgraduate students pass daily through our doors. No doubt, the majority of busy practitioners see these activities as an increased workload rather than an opportunity, a stress factor rather than a possibility to develop in their personal lives. In this article however, we would like to suggest how some of our daily practice activities can be seen as opportunities to teach and learn; how by using the principles of being an effective teacher, we can create learning situations for all
Clinical guidelines – a challenging way of medical innovations into the real health care world
Abstract
Clinical guidelines are promising tools to improve medical care. However, in order to suit health care needs, they must be of high scientific quality and take into account characteristics of the real clinical practice. Impact of clinical guidelines in many ways depends on educational interventions by means of which they are implemented. Educational workshops with interactive component and computer reminders are mentioned among the most effective. Nevertheless, even such passive activities like dissemination of printed guidelines or patient educational materials can play an important role due to their relatively low cost and wide distribution. Overall, educational interventions can improve professional performance approximately by 7–15% and patient’s outcomes by 3–5%.
