Novel Osteo Refurbishment Method and Choice of Colouring Materials for Anatomy SpecimensDibakar BORTHAKUR1, Rajesh KUMAR2, Neerja RANI1, Rima DADA11All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Department of Anatomy, New Delhi, India2All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Department of Anatomy, Patna, India Objective: The introduction of competency-based medical education curriculum and a shifted focus towards self-directed learning (SDL) in medical schools across the world has necessitated a reduction of didactic teaching hours. Museum specimens are an indispensable tool in anatomy teaching and can play a pivotal role in fostering and reinforcing SDL. Coloring of specimens makes it attractive and facilitates understanding anatomy. The aims of this study were: (1) weigh up the two commonly used coloring materials in anatomy viz. acrylic paint and nail polish; and (2) to assess the perception of anatomy students towards a Novel Osteo Refurbishment Method (NORM) for restoration of partially damaged osteology specimens.
