Teaching Contact Hours

Anatomy teaching USA graph.jpg

Trends in anatomy disciplines contact teaching hours based on data from USA survey.[1]


  • Online survey were constructed to gather basic information about gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, neuroscience/neuroanatomy, and embryology courses.
  • 2009 total of 130 allopathic and 25 osteopathic medical schools in USA.
  • Number of responses (Gross anatomy 65, Microscopic anatomy 45, Neuroscience/Neuroanatomy 31, Embryology 43)
  • UNSW Embryology
    • Medicine contact hours (lecture and practicals, including foundations and phase 2) is 24 hours.
    • Science contact hours: Lectures 20, Practicals 48.

Student Projects

Medicine

Medicine Student Projects

  • Part of the Medicine undergraduate program allows for individual students to work on research or educational projects related to medicine.
  • The projects are academically supervised and are described as an "Independent Learning Project" (ILP).

Science Student Projects

  • Since 2009 undergraduate science students have been preparing online group projects as part of their ANAT2341 Embryology course.
  • Student group (4-5 students) selects a specific topic within the main theme that they then research and work collaboratively on that topic throughout the semester.
  • The project is then assessed by their peers before being finally edited for submission as their group assessment component for the course.
