A chemical application method with underwater dissection to improve anatomic identification of cadaveric foot and ankle structures in podiatric education.

Conclusions: Although this method required additional preparation time, the resultant prosections have been repeatedly used for several years to facilitate learning among podiatry students and residents, and they have held up well. This method can be used by educators to teach podiatry students throughout their medical training and even into residency. PMID: 24072367 [PubMed - in process]
