Résumé
The concept of evidence-based anatomy (EBA) emerged in 2014 and has become a significant element in contemporary anatomy education. The evolving fabric of the medical education curriculum has necessitated critical changes in practice. EBA enables these changes to be incorporated seamlessly and implemented congruently into anatomy education programs. However, in parallel, non-evidence-based (classical) knowledge that has been built up through centuries of anatomical practice continues to be the core element of anatomy education in some countries/regions. Its inherent limitations hinder integration with clinical practice, leading to a rise in misadventures in the clinical setting. This viewpoint commentary highlights the strengths of EBA vis-à-vis the related attributes of classical anatomy. Appropriate arguments show that EBA helps to reduce cognitive load and enables knowledge to be delivered through innovative education tools. EBA also helps to create an inclusive learning environment in a technology-driven era. Moreover, empowered by robust resources, it is driving the pertinent amalgamation of anatomy knowledge with clinical practice. This viewpoint article endorses the adoption of EBA in contemporary anatomy education on the basis of its potential for shaping future anatomical practice.
