Early Clinical Exposure in Anatomy - E-Book (eBook)

In 2019, the National Medical Council (NMC) made many changes to the medical curriculum; the inclusion of Early ClinicalExposure (ECE) was one of the important changes. By including ECE, NMC aims solely at achieving both horizontal and verticalintegration in different phases of a medical curriculum. It also targets at developing the students' interest in preclinical subjectsat the beginning of the curriculum, which will help strengthen the foundation of their career and produce knowledgeable Indianmedical graduates.The book has been written according to the new changes made to the curriculum by the NMC. It will help fulfil the need of thestudents and adapt themselves to the changes easily, as facing new changes is always a challenge for both students as well asteachers. Keeping the NMC's objective in mind, the author has made an effort to impart knowledge in a competency-based andECE format. This book focuses on explaining the anatomical basis of various disorders in a question-answer format.When the 'why' is clear, the 'how' becomes easy to understand. And, when the 'how' becomes easy, the managementof a disease also becomes easy. This book will provide 'guidelines' to preclinical students to prepare for clinical-basedquestions, and considering the vastness of the subject, it can be one of the best tools to revise clinical aspects of varioussystems of the human anatomy.SALIENT FEATURES* A unique and exclusive ECE-oriented book, as it covers not only clinical but also the collateral aspects of all topics in detail* Designed as per the latest Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum - covers maximum competencies ofthe subject* Includes more than 225 clinical cases of gross anatomy (upper limb, thorax, head neck face, central nervous system,abdomen, lower limb), general anatomy, embryology and genetics* Covers anatomy-related AETCOM modules* Presents topics in a question-answer format - more than 1700 questions (including the ones on MedEnact) into must-know,should-know and desirable-to-know categories - a pattern useful for fast as well as slow learners* Knowledge-oriented - best for understanding the basic concepts of the subject and anatomical basis of various clinicalconditions* Exam-oriented - helps in revision and self-assessment before examinations* Line diagrams, clinical images, tables and flowcharts - facilitates quick learning and knowledge retention* Student-friendly approach - useful for beginners as each case gives an overall idea of the topic* Concise arrangement of the subject - useful for revision and preparation for the EXIT (NExT) and other similar examinations* Helpful for postgraduate students (e.g., MD anatomy, MSc anatomy) and anatomists; undergraduate students of alliedmedical sciences such as BDS, BPTh and Nursing* Includes topic-related quotes and images - an extracurricular feast
