Study of nonsynchronous online teaching of regional anatomy for international students integrated with medical humanity and local culture during COVID-19 pandemic
PurposeCOVID-19 pandemic imposed unexpected disruptions to anatomical educational practice, the teaching of regional anatomy for international students which has changed to an online format and faces various challenges. The challenges include creating online education homogeneous/equivalent to offline education, introducing local culture to international students, and educating students in medical humanities and ethics. Methods To address these problems, the teaching staff integrated medical humanities and local culture into nonsynchronous online teaching of regional anatomy. ResultsThe nonsynchronous online teaching with interpreted videos of dissections does not significantly affect the experimental and total scores of regional anatomy courses for international students. Integrating medical humanities and local culture into this teaching model is appreciated by them, and also has a good teaching effect. ConclusionStudents not only got professional knowledge but also obtained enhanced exposure to local culture and professional spirit from this regional anatomy education.
