Abstract :In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the views of veterinarians and students about the topographic anatomy course and clinical anatomy course with the help of a survey. For this purpose, 4 separate surveys were created, 2 for the topographic anatomy course and 2 for the clinical anatomy course. For each course, one of these forms was used to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students in Veterinary Medicine. Other survey forms were applied to veterinarians working in different regions in Turkey. As a result, 98% of the participants emphasized that anatomy knowledge was important for safe and adequate clinical practice. 59% of the students stated that the contents of the topographic anatomy course were not sufficient in this form, 92.3% stated that it should be explained with radiological images and, 96.2% explained with clinical sciences. Only 35.5% of veterinarians stated that the information they learned in the systematic anatomy course was sufficient for clinical practices. 92.1% of veterinarians stated that clinical anatomy courses should be present in the curriculum in recent years. According to the results, after taking systematic anatomy course, it was observed that it was a necessity to take the anatomy course associated with clinical sciences during the later periods.
