Anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology laboratory programs in the education of physicians. 1975

K E Guyer, and J L Poland, and H R Seibel

The amount of laboratory time devoted to anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology has decreased substantially while lecture time has remained essentially unchanged. Most laboratories consist of student conduction of assigned exercises with a sprinkling of demonstrations, conferences, and seminars. Various objectives for laboratory programs are discussed. A great percentage of the student's final anatomy grade (approximately 40%) still depends on his laboratory performance, while in biochemistry and physiology, lab work contributes only 12% and 10%, respectively, toward his final grade. There is great reluctance to abandon the laboratory program, however, because of the significant role it is thought to play in medical education.
