    Abstract

    A preclinical elective entitled Oncologic Anatomy is described which emphasizes the study of anatomy from a three-dimensional approach using examples of cancer spread patterns. Features of this elective course include patient presentations, a review of the anatomy, a diagnostic presentation and overview of radiologic imaging techniques, and "hands on" experience where students are introduced to aspects of the physical examination. This course format encourages active learning, facilitates basic and clinical science integration, offers early exposure to patients, and validates the importance of the psychosocial aspects of the medical profession.
