With the advent of the multimedia and inclusion of computer assisted instruction in an anatomy course has permitted the acquisition of the course objectives in a reduced amount of time. Keeping this in mind a study was done in department of Anatomy of Subharti Medical College to assess the students on their ability to understand microanatomy when taught on microscope in comparison to teaching on computers.
The performance was also evaluated on basis of OSCA/OSCE in comparison to diagram making which is a conventional method of assessment. Results obtained were statistically evaluated and it was found that on one hand teaching should include both conventional method of teaching i.e. through microscope as well as through computers while on the other hand OSCA is definitely a better means of evaluation.
