To help medical students learn anatomy effectively in limited hours, a regional anatomy book enhancing students' memorization was developed.
Only anatomical terms essential for basic cadaver dissection are included along with schematic figures which enable memorization of complicated anatomical structures. Learning comics and comic strips that depict anatomy mnemonics and jokes were appended and sentences were written to be comfortably readable. The electronic book titled "Visually Memorable Regional Anatomy" has been distributed without payment or registration. With the help of 246 volunteer students from three Korean medical schools, the book's learning effects were evaluated.
These students' book reading led to increase in their anatomy scores, including written examination scores and tag examination scores. It was an encouraging result that almost 20% of students spontaneously read the book no matter who presented their lecture or examination. A webpage version of the book was visited by thousands of users.
The book with unique features may suggest a new perspective in the field of anatomy learning. After having acquaintance with essential structures from reading the book, students are able to and willing to study more from other resources.
为帮助医学生在有限的时间内有效地学习解剖学，开发了一本增强学生记忆力的局部解剖学书籍。
仅包含基本尸体解剖所需的解剖学术语，并附有示意图，使复杂的解剖结构易于记忆。添加了描述解剖记忆术和笑话的学习漫画和连环漫画，并编写了便于阅读的句子。这本名为“视觉易记局部解剖学”的电子书无需付费或注册即可下载。在来自三所韩国医学院的 246 名志愿者学生的帮助下，评估了该书的学习效果。
这些学生的阅读导致他们的解剖学成绩提高，包括书面考试成绩和标签考试成绩。令人鼓舞的是，几乎 20%的学生自发阅读了这本书，无论谁为他们授课或考试。该书的网页版已被数千名用户访问。
这本书具有独特的特点，可能为解剖学学习领域提供了一个新视角。通过阅读本书了解基本结构后，学生能够并愿意从其他资源中学习更多内容。
