How should medical students learn anatomy well?

Anatomy is undoubtedly the first nightmare for medical students.

With almost no preparation, you have to remember thousands of nouns at once. They are also the first to encounter them. Your love for medicine often begins with systemic anatomy.

Even your various fantasies about college were shattered at this time. As a science student, I was not good at memorizing, but I suddenly discovered that medicine requires memorizing far more than any liberal arts student.

To learn anatomy well, you still have to learn it well. Unfortunately, it is indeed a difficult course to learn well. However, if you do not learn it well, you may fall into the pit at any time in your future medical career. If you become a doctor in the future, making anatomical mistakes will be treated as a big joke.

So, if you have chosen medicine as your path of no return, then when you first see anatomy, you must be mentally prepared and accept your fate. You must overcome this hurdle. There is no other choice. If you want to quit, this may be the best time. If you keep going, the price you pay will become bigger and bigger.

There is a slight difference between wanting to learn anatomy well and getting high marks in graduation exams.

I later engaged in imaging, and I almost depended on anatomy for a living, and I often saw clinicians making fun of anatomy. So, let’s talk about how to learn anatomy based on the standard of learning well.

First of all, there must be key points.

The most important thing when studying medicine is to focus. Modern medicine is a truly broad and profound subject. The amount of knowledge is definitely among the top among the subjects that humans have already known. It cannot be invented by one or two gods. It was discovered by countless pioneers after hundreds of years of hard work. The unknown part of us is a thousand times more so. No one can fully master it no matter what.

The importance of organs in people’s bodies is different. The importance of each point in each organ is also different. This requires you to grasp it with focus. Capture the key parts. Many general things are looked at in a general way.
