However, emerging evidence suggests that there is great difficulty not only in transferring fundamental anatomical knowledge to theory/clinical application but also a loss of knowledge over time (Doomernik et al., 2017; Easteal and Perry, 2018). Most of the knowledge transfer, loss and/or retention studies have been carried out in medical, physical therapy and chiropractic students, and this phenomenon has not yet been assessed in nursing students. This study seeks to determine the percent of anatomical knowledge retained by second year nursing students, and to determine which areas of anatomy have the greatest and lowest levels of retention.583.24KBPDFenAll Rights Reservedanatomyknowledge retentionpostsecondary educationnursingPresentation
