The objectives that are clearly identified in each area after thorough discussion with experts will enable both teachers and students to focus on key issues of every topic‎.‎ Currently‎,‎ strong views are emerging that traditional methods of teaching anatomy as practiced by most medical schools have limitations in development of application skills of such knowledge in clinical practice‎.‎ The teaching methodologies and student evaluations are mainly focused on memorizing and recalling the stringent course and relations of human body parts with no value‎-addition in development of application skills‎.‎ Manipal Manual of Clinical Anatomy discusses the clinical relevance immediately after elaboration of the gross anatomy‎,‎ which greatly aids the students in correlation of anatomy with the clinical application‎.‎ Clinical case scenarios that are carefully designed to emphasize the importance of anatomy could be further elaborated for problem‎-based learning‎.‎ These clinical case scenarios are placed immediately after clinical relevance boxes‎,‎ so that the students can discuss the cases in groups where the teacher can act as a facilitator‎.‎ Medical schools that follow the systemic rather than regional anatomy approach for integrated teaching will also be benefited by these case studies‎.‎ Developmental events ‎(‎embryology‎)‎ are briefly summarized with more emphasis on birth defects and their embryological basis‎.‎ Multiple choice questions are designed on the basis of clinical application of anatomy‎,‎ which would help them in future competitive postgraduate entrance tests‎.‎
