Abstract: In order to stimulate students’ interest and improve teaching quality, a series of clinically oriented workshops was introduced to human anatomy education. According to the curriculum, the workshop series was arranged along with the traditional human anatomy course. In each workshop, a simulated surgery was accomplished on cadaver specimen by a team of students under the direction of a clinical teacher to gain a better understanding of regional anatomy. After several years of exploration, the workshop-teaching mode has become an official part of the human anatomy curriculum. Clinically oriented workshops have been popular among the students.
