"The learning that occurs in dissection is qualitatively different from the learning that occurs in a lecture or paper-and-pencil setting. No model, no video, no diagram, and no movie can duplicate the fascination, the sense of discovery, wonder and even awe that students feel when they find real structures in their own specimens".

Susan Offner, a former Outstanding Biology Teacher Award recipient

Professional Summary

As a medical education innovator, I recognize the importance of promoting anatomy as a foundation discipline in the training of physicians. However, over the years, studies in medical education indicate the degree of difficulty that this discipline has for students, even more so in the anatomical dissection laboratory.

 

For this reason, I promote the implementation of anatomy education programs as a supplementary aid so that those students interested in continuing residencies in the surgical field have other experiences in anatomy and advanced techniques in dissection.

 

At the end of 2017, Puerto Rico faced the passage of the most catastrophic hurricane in the country's modern history. As a result, laboratories and equipment were lost; Furthermore, the teaching strategy in some courses, such as the gross anatomy laboratory, was reformulated. A program was implemented in which first-year medical students had access to tutorials on laboratory material, improved dissection skills, and mentoring from students in more advanced years. The results of the implementation of the "Mastering Anatomical Techniques" program were recognized by the administration of the Universidad Central del Caribe School of Medicine.
