Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming anatomy education by redefining traditional teaching methods such as cadaveric dissection, bone maceration, and plastination.Its integration into medical education has the potential to enhance instructional delivery, learning experiences, and assessment strategies.AI tools, including chatbots and virtual assistants, provide personalized learning support, interactive simulations, and virtual dissection experiences that improve student engagement and understanding of anatomical structures.This paper examines the impact of AI on anatomy education, highlighting its applications through teaching case studies, as well as its advantages and limitations.While AI-driven approaches can enhance student performance through personalized assessment and immersive learning, challenges related to curriculum integration, ethical considerations, and technological limitations remain.Adapting anatomy education to evolving technological trends is therefore essential to optimize teaching, assessment, and curriculum design.
