摘要

Background

Occupational therapy (OT) clinicians express concerns of declining trainee knowledge of anatomy.

Activity

Quality improvement project exploring OT clinician perspectives of optimal anatomy teaching approaches and assessments was conducted using survey and interview methods.

Results

Clinical skills labs, surface anatomy labs/lectures, and anatomy prosection labs were identified as optimal teaching approaches, while preferred assessments were practical applied anatomy and clinical exams, and clinical skills/biomechanics. Thematic analysis of interviews found that clinicians value pedagogy that integrates clinical application across teaching and assessment methods.

Discussion

OT clinician perspectives informed changes to a university’s pedagogical approach to support integrated learning of anatomy.
