From Classroom to Clinic: The Importance of Applied Anatomy Teaching - Maria Munz | VETchat by The Webinar Vet

Joining Anthony for this episode of VETchat is Maria Munz, Assistant Lecturer for Veterinary Anatomy & Partner and Veterinary Practitioner at a clinic in Germany.

In this episode, Anthony and Maria discuss all things anatomy and how it is taught at Veterinary School. Maria shares some background on her career to date, including her experience teaching anatomy in various countries. They talk about how anatomy is often one of the less popular courses at university and Maria shares how mixing the traditional academic teaching style with more applied/clinical anatomy can have major benefits. Maria explains the benefits of linking anatomy and surgery when teaching, and the importance of getting students used to cases they will see in practice. Moreover, they discuss new technologies, such as 3D models, and how they can offer improvements to the standards of anatomy teaching.
