Abstract: Anatomy is a difficult subject for health science students as it contains new concepts and terminologies, and students typically engage in surface learning approaches such as rote learning and memorisation. There has been a clear shift from didactic methods to self-directed learning and students have improved engagement and effective deep, and long-term retention of knowledge using innovative approaches to learning anatomy. This new array of “hands-on” learning approaches includes drawing, whiteboarding, use of Play Doh to build anatomical structures and the study of surface anatomy (Diaz, 2013; Diaz et al., 2021; Diaz and Woolley, 2015; 2021; Diaz, 2022).
