Abstract

The rapid advancement of medical knowledge necessitates that nurses have both technical proficiency and a comprehensive understanding of anatomy, essential for effective clinical decision-making. Despite its critical role in nursing practice, anatomy education poses significant challenges due to the complexity and volume of content, as well as the need for its integration into practical clinical applications. Active learning strategies, such as group discussions and interactive activities, along with visualisation tools like 3D models, can enhance understanding. Collaboration with other healthcare professionals provides broader perspectives and prepares students for interdisciplinary practice. Continuous assessment, including formative and summative evaluations, ensures competency in applying anatomical knowledge. Innovative technologies like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer promising advancements, creating engaging and personalized learning experiences. By adopting these strategies, educators can equip nursing students with the necessary knowledge and skills for effective patient care.
