Associate Professor Faith Chia on enhanced medical school curriculum
Dissection of actual human bodies will soon be mandatory for medical students at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine. It believes the hands-on experience will make a vital difference to their knowledge of anatomy. Associate Professor Faith Chia, Vice-Dean of Education at NTU Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, discusses how the enhanced curriculum that makes cadaveric dissection mandatory could improve anatomy training for students. She also shares why the institution is implementing this, on top of using virtual tools in medical education, even as other countries move away from the dissection of human bodies.
