Abstract
This article explores the nature of the 12 anatomy departments in Australian and New Zealand medical schools. The transformation of these departments from medically oriented to science-oriented ones is examined. Contemporary trends in staffing, research emphases, and teaching methodologies are discussed, and recent developments in medical curricula reviewed. The relationship between medical courses and the teaching of science and health science students in Australasian departments is discussed. Finally, the state of anatomy as a discipline and possibilities for its future development are explored.Keywords
