The following tips are game changers when it comes to how you approach learning the complex subject of Anatomy. We hope these anatomy study tips and learning techniques improve your academic success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Relax, you won\u2019t remember every single thing and that\u2019s okay.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Brains can only deal with small chunks of information at a time. So, read or listen for a short time (approx. 20 min) then do something active.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Use pens, eyeliner, body paint, clay and pipe cleaners to draw and model structures.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Create visual representations e.g. use strawberry laces to map out blood supply.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Use your own body (safely).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Annotate lecture slides and images from books to reinforce what you have learned.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Eat & hydrate\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Look at the notes & know what you are doing\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n During <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 What is it? Find things that you recognize first and work from there\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Use your hands \u2013. Neural pathways come through our hands to our brains. It\u2019s proven\u00a0neuroscience; it will increase your learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n After<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Draw, teach, test.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Review & condense what you have learned.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Research has repeatedly shown that anatomy students\u00a0improve learning outcomes when teaching each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 It can improve knowledge, confidence and you help\u00a0others. it\u2019s a win-win.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Build a framework and build up your knowledge bit by bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Learn names & remember by using mnemonics & rhymes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Rehearse your knowledge – go through things several times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Switch it up – engage in many activities to build your knowledge <\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out Complete Anatomy\u2019s mnemonic notes in the \u2018Student Hacks playlist\u2019 on their You Tube page @Completeanatomyelsevier <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nTIP 4<\/em> : Teach others<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
