Especially taking the opinions and suggestions of the students is guiding the direction of medical education.Therefore, in our study, a questionnaire consisting of twelve questions was applied. The aim of this the present study isto determine the thoughts and suggestions of the second year medical faculty students about anatomy practice courses.The study included 139 volunteers 2nd-grade medical faculty student (104 female and 35 male students) who agreed toanswer the questionnaire. While 55.4% of the students thought that the time allocated for anatomy applications wassufficient, 61.15% stated that they would participate in the practical courses even though the lecture attendance wouldnot be taken during the course. Almost all of the students (98.6%) want their instructors to make models or cadavericdemonstrations during the laboratory practices. 82.73% of the students think that the anatomy practice exams arerequired at the end of the committee and 75,53% of them think that the measurement and evaluation of the examinationby using cadaver, model, and bone on the tables is more appropriate. Besides, 91.36% of the students stated that thestudy notes should be given before the practice of anatomy.The feedback from the students shows that the practical lessons in understanding human anatomy are of vitalimportance and the majority of students accepts the current practices. However, evaluation of the requested applicationswould facilitate understanding of subjects and increases success. In the preparation of training programs, the inclusionof clinical anatomy into the curriculum may be useful in improving the quality of medical education.en10.7197/223.vi.505102info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCerrahiThe thoughts of the 2nd graduate students of the Faculty of Medicine about anatomy practice examsArticle404350346321938
