الوصف: The current shortage of faculty qualified to teach anatomy in U.S. medical schools is reversible. Sufficient numbers of individuals are in the pipeline to provide a future cadre of well-trained faculty members educating students in gross anatomy. The challenge is to realign departmental, institutional, and federal training grant priorities and resources, creating incentives for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty members to stay the course and become the teachers needed to educate the next generation of health professionals. These strategies include (but are not limited to) team-teaching gross anatomy, thereby distributing the time commitments of a laboratory-based course more widely within a department; funds made available from the administration of medical schools to allow postdoctoral fellows to participate in teaching and providing compensation for the research activities; using "mission-based budgeting" to specifically compensate for faculty teaching time; and, finally, re-instituting federally funded training grants that solved this same teaching crisis in the not-too-distant past.
