Human anatomy forms the foundation for clinical medicine; thus its place in the medical school curriculum deserves careful attention. In an attempt to provide guidance to decision-makers involved in clinical anatomy curriculum development at the medical school level, the Educational Affairs Committee of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists (AACA) developed this document, which defines the contours of a gross anatomy curriculum leading to the M.D. or D.O. degree. The main body of the document sets forth the anatomical concepts as well as the subject matter a student should master prior to graduation from medical school. The AACA seeks to ensure that all medical students receive thorough training in clinical anatomy and that each student, regardless of the institution attended, will be exposed to a curriculum that will provide a fundamental level of competence required for the practice of medicine.
人体解剖学是临床医学的基础；因此，其在医学院课程中的地位值得密切关注。为了给参与医学院层面临床解剖学课程开发的决策者提供指导，美国临床解剖学家协会（AACA）教育事务委员会制定了本文件，该文件界定了通向医学博士（M.D.）或 osteopathic 医学博士（D.O.）学位的大体解剖学课程的轮廓。文件主体阐述了解剖学概念以及学生在医学院毕业前应掌握的主题内容。AACA 力求确保所有医学生都接受临床解剖学方面的全面培训，并且每个学生，无论就读于哪所院校，都能接触到一门能提供医学实践所需基本能力水平的课程。
