ANATOMY RESOURCE CENTRE
The Anatomy Resource Centre (ARC) has been designed to emphasise clinically relevant anatomy and
stimulate ‘active learning’ in students in a pleasant conducive environment. Although designed as a
multidisciplinary resource primarily for medical students, dental students and allied health science
students, as well as postgraduate health professionals. In addition, the ARC plays a very vital role in
educating the public about the importance of anatomy in clinical medicine.
Key features include potted and plastinated cadaveric specimens, a range of diagnostic images and
clinical scenarios quizzes. In addition, activity stations have been designed to focus on interactive
learning through multimedia computers, educational anatomy software/ medical websites as well as
anatomy videos. All regular ARC users are issued with security smart cards to enter and exit the centre.
User profile of the ARC is continuously recorded and analysed from computerised door entry records.
Student perception of ARC educational value is assessed regularly through feedback questionnaires
surveys.
