"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

Resumen Profesional

Como innovadora en la educación médica, reconozco la importancia de promover la anatomía como disciplina fundamental en la formación de los médicos. Sin embargo, a lo largo de los años, los estudios en educación médica indican el grado de dificultad que esta disciplina tiene para los estudiantes, más aún en el laboratorio de disección anatómica. 

 

Por esta razón, promuevo la implementación de programas de educación en anatomía como una ayuda suplementaria para que aquellos estudiantes interesados ​​en continuar residencias en el campo quirúrgico tengan otras experiencias en anatomía y técnicas avanzadas en disección.

 

A finales del año 2017, Puerto Rico enfrentó el paso del huracán más catastrófico en la historia moderna del país. A raíz del huracán María, laboratorios y equipo se perdieron; más aun, la estrategia de enseñanza en algunos cursos, como el laboratorio de anatomía gruesa, se reformuló. Se implementó un programa en el cual los estudiantes de primer año en medicina tuvieran acceso a tutorías de material del laboratorio, mejorar habilidades de disección y mentoría de estudiantes de años más avanzados. Los resultados de la implementación del programa “Mastering Anatomical Techniques” fueron reconocidos por la administración de la Escuela de Medicina Universidad Central del Caribe.
