从世纪早期到最近二十年，以解剖学和病理学收藏为特色的开放空间和卫星博物馆（统称为“医学博物馆”）在医学教育中发挥了主导作用。然而，近年来，许多因素导致这些作用急剧减少。其中最主要的是信息技术和基于网络的学习的巨大进步，这些进步目前正在各级医疗培训中发挥作用。一些医学院已经放弃了他们的博物馆，而另一些医学院则逐渐放弃了博物馆的内容，将以前的博物馆空间用于新的教室，演讲霍尔斯和实验室。随着医学院入学人数的增加，以及对生物和生物医学研究活动的兴趣日益增加，这些趋势已经加速，导致医学院将博物馆空间转换为研究设施。然而，一些医学院认为博物馆的内容是现代医学和医学教育不可替代的资源，它们所占据的空间是独立自主学习的良好环境。因此，一些医学院更新了他们的医学博物馆，并为它们配备了新技术。荷兰莱顿大学医学中心的解剖博物馆和日本冈山仓敷市的川崎医学院医学博物馆就是这种升级博物馆的两个例子。莱顿大学的学生调查表明，所有学生（100%）发现音频引导的博物馆图尔斯之旅是有用的学习和他们中的大多数发现引导图尔斯是临床相关的（87%）。然而，69%的学生认为，博物馆参观应该是可选的，而不是强制性的医学培训课程。Anat Sci Educ 3：249-253.

From the early 19th century until the most recent two decades, open-space and satellite museums featuring anatomy and pathology collections (collectively referred to as "medical museums'') had leading roles in medical education. However, many factors have caused these roles to diminish dramatically in recent years. Chief among these are the great advances in information technology and web-based learning that are currently at play in every level of medical training. Some medical schools have abandoned their museums while others have gradually given away their museums' contents to devote former museum space to new classrooms, lecture halls, and laboratories. These trends have accelerated as medical school enrollment has increased and as increasing interest in biological and biomedical research activities have caused medical schools to convert museum space into research facilities. A few medical schools, however, have considered the contents of their museums as irreplaceable resources for modern medicine and medical education and the space these occupy as great environments for independent and self-directed learning. Consequently, some medical schools have updated their medical museums and equipped them with new technologies. The Anatomical Museum of Leiden University Medical Center in The Netherlands and the Medical Museum of Kawasaki Medical School in Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan, are two examples of such upgraded museums. Student surveys at Leiden University have indicated that all students (100%) found audio-guided museum tours to be useful for learning and majorities of them found guided tours to be clinically relevant (87%). However, 69% of students felt that museum visits should be optional rather than compulsory within the medical training curriculum. Anat Sci Educ 3:249-253. (C) 2010 American Association of Anatomists.
