At the Department of Human Morphology of NovSU, a regional educational morphological competition “Own Game” was held, where the participants were five student teams of second- and fourth-year students from the Institute of Medical Education of NovSU and one team of students from the Reaviz Medical University from St. Petersburg.
The competition was held using the “Pies” table – an interactive anatomical 3D atlas, with which you can examine in detail the anatomical and histological structures of the human body.
— Working with such equipment is a good addition to the main cadaver material, as it allows you to study anatomy in three-dimensional space, increase awareness of information perception and develop clinical thinking, — said Elman Dashdemirov, a fourth-year student of “General Medicine” at NovSU. — Each team was given situational clinical tasks in which they had to correctly name an anatomical structure and show it on a 3D atlas. In one of the tasks, the patient, after suffering a traumatic brain injury, stopped seeing, but his sense of smell and hearing were preserved, and his visual apparatus remained intact. Considering that several anatomical structures are responsible for the perception of visual information, the listed conditions exclude damage to the optic nerves and midbrain. And the correct answer is damage to the visual cortex of the cerebral hemispheres.
Teams of students from the NovSU Institute of Medical Education took the prizes.

## World Today News – Interview: “Beyond the Cadaver: The Future of Medical Education”
**Host:** Welcome to World Today News. Today, we’re diving into the exciting world of medical education with two special guests. Dr. Elena Petrova, a leading anatomist and professor at Novgorod State University, and Dr. Alex Ramirez, a pioneer in the field of digital anatomy and founder of the “Pies” 3D atlas platform. We’ll be discussing the recent “Own Game” morphological competition held at NovSU and exploring the implications of interactive technology in shaping the future of medical learning.
**Section 1: The “Own Game” Competition and the Power of Interactive Learning
Host:** Dr. Petrova, you played a key role in organizing the “Own Game” competition. Can you tell us more about the competition format and why you think it’s an effective way to teach anatomy?
