Abstract
Although it is possible to teach anatomy in increasingly shorter periods of time, such that the students achieve high test scores in the standardized short answer examinations, it is clear that their knowledge, as applied to clinical care, rapidly declines the further they get away from Step 1 studying. Further study is necessary to elucidate the weaknesses in the current basic science curricula as they pertain to anatomy and to devise mechanisms to assure retention of this critical science during clinical rotations and beyond into practice.
