Computer-assisted learning for teaching anatomy and physiology in subjects allied to medicine

Computer-assisted learning (CAL) may provide an effective supplement to conventional methods of teaching, particularly in subjects such as anatomy and physiology. CAL provides the student with an important additional resource and facilitates alternative modes of learning that are well suited to the requirements of students in subjects allied to medicine. A brief survey is presented which examines those studies that have investigated the utility of CAL for teaching anatomy and physiology within subjects allied to medicine.
