Summary:Introduction Curricular development begins with identifying a problem, followed by a needs assessment of curricular components. Changes in pedagogical approaches and reductions in curricular time for gross anatomy have been identified as problems in undergraduate medical education. The objective of this study was to conduct a needs assessment of the most essential anatomy for residents in Anesthesiology (AN), Emergency Medicine (EM), Ob/Gyn (OB), and Orthopedics (OR) at Beaumont Health in Royal Oak, MI (the teaching hospital for Oakland Univ.
