E-book Anatomy Quizbook : For Students Studying or Intending to Study Medicine
The Anatomy Quizbook is a series of carefully selected questions addressing core learning in clinically relevant anatomy. It provides the opportunity for both pre-med and medical students to improve their knowledge of anatomy, as well as their performance in tests and examinations. The form of self-testing presented in the Anatomy Quizbook has many benefits: it is proven to aid retention (Lieberman 2012), it is a very useful method to apply at regular intervals to ensure robust knowledge, and it is extremely beneficial in determining what is known before rather than after a test or exam. Bearing in mind that it is neither necessary nor advisable to learn everything there is to know about anatomy, it is intended that the Anatomy Quizbook be used in conjunction with a comprehensive anatomy textbook such as Clinically Oriented Anatomy (Moore et al, 2014) or Gray’s Anatomy for Students (Drake et al, 2015). And whilst the Anatomy Quizbook is intended primarily for students, tutors may also find this a very useful teaching resource. Self-testing is an under-utilized learning method despite 100 years’ worth of research proving its effectiveness (Rawson and Dunlosky, 2011; Roediger and Butler, 2011)? Repeatedly self-testing the same material at increasing intervals throughout the semester (known as distributed practice) provides a sound basis for exam success (Dunlosky, 2013)? However, even if familiar with these revision methods, students may not implement them as they pursue other, more urgent concerns such as assignments and tests or meeting other priorities?Fortunately, the Anatomy Quizbook encourages strategic knowledge building, being an efficient method of learning for time-poor students (Lieberman, 2012), helping them develop an aptitude for and resilience to regular testing, and most beneficially by reducing the time and effort required for mastering clinically relevant anatomy.
