Abstract

Anatomy is being taught in medical schools at the preliminary level in order to build background knowledge for future practice. It is the need of the hour to endorse teaching of anatomy by qualified medical staff and thus encourage post graduation in anatomy. Today in India there are 335 medical colleges with an intake of 40525 students annually. Among these colleges 198 colleges are recognised for a post graduation in Anatomy discipline. In these colleges there are 610 seats for PG Anatomy which makes the ratio of MBBS students to Anatomy PG students 100: 1.5. A study was conducted on 100 medical students at K.J. Somaiya Medical College between July 2014 and Dec 2014. Out of the 100 students 50 were pursuing their MBBS and 50 were pursuing their internship. Out of the 50 students pursuing MBBS, 15 had completed their first year exams, 15 had completed their second year exams, 10 had completed their third year (Part I) exams and 10 had completed their third year (Part II) exams. All the students were randomly selected. Conclusion: A postgraduate qualification establishes a student in his career as an academician. But there are few PG anatomy seats in India. The number of post graduate seats should increase.
