Ans. Most of them consider that there is no scope for research in anatomy as it is an already explored and documented area of research. However, there are additional fields that are coming up such as vascular anatomy. There is a lot of fear/stigma around research topics among fellow students and even lecturers because of the opinion that "we already know all the gross anatomy there is to know". This may not be correct as variation plays a major role in surgery every day and that in itself is a lifetime worth of research.
