Abstract

Multimedia and 3-D animation is an emerging field to enhance deeper understanding and spatial knowledge
in medical education. This interesting technology could be used in both horizontal and vertical integration
of medical education. By using 3-D software we model, render and compile medical topics by integrating
anatomy, biochemistry and physiology along with applied aspect, which are being used for enhancing the
understanding of both undergraduate and post graduate students. By using one of such topic on Pathophysiology
of jaundice, we have shown that group who was taught with 3-D animation technology has
performed better than the group who was taught with routine power point presentation (p- 0.006). Feedback
from students also showed that 3-D animation is useful learning aid and improves their spatial ability. 3-D
animation appears to be promising upcoming tool in medical education.

Keywords: 3D animation, Learning, Integration, Medical education.
