Communicating morphological concepts in health sciences.

A program in Health Sciences Education at McMaster University, centered on the undergraduate M.D. program in particular, has changed the educational methodology used in teaching and learning to a different approach than the traditional method. The emphasis on individualized instruction in the morphological disciplines has resulted in the need to develop new facilities. One-hundred modules or units have been produced for self-study in the Department of Anatomy. Audiovisual personnel, illustrators, and laboratory technicians have worked in collaboration with subject experts on the development of these devices; they have shown the value of utilizing different learning modalities to achieve efficient learning outcomes.
