I've been around quite a while now and heard the arguments come and go for the relevance of gross anatomy teaching, especially when it comes to cadaveric based teaching. We use cadavers at King's and we take our gross anatomical teaching seriously. It may be of interest that the Royal College of Surgeons has just increased its Part A exam from 45 to 75 anatomy questions. This is to address the obvious need for surgeons in training to have more anatomical knowledge and to place the emphasis on the important of anatomical knowledge.
