Therefore, we designed and implemented an elective program for first-year medical students entitled Surgical Clinical Correlates in Anatomy, which allowed surgeons to teach clinical anatomy concurrent to the traditional anatomy course. This program consisted of sessions on general surgical knowledge, Orthopedic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Urology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, and Otolaryngology. Each session contained interactive cadaveric operations. Survey data, anatomy exam scores, and MCAT scores were collected from the program participants (n=25), as well as from their peers completing the traditional anatomy course only (n=176). Analyses to evaluate the program and investigate whether participation in the program impacted scores on first-year anatomy curricular exams, changed student perceptions of surgeons, and impacted student interest in surgery were conducted. Of the 25 program participants, 24
