Welcome to the official page of The International Evidence-Based Anatomy Working Group (iEBA-WG). The iEBA-WG is closely affiliated with the Department of Anatomy, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Krakow, Poland. The group was formed with the goal of providing a new foundation of evidence-based anatomical knowledge, focusing on aspects of anatomy essential for everyday clinical practice. Furthermore, the group works to promote the use of evidence-based principles in the anatomical sciences. The group takes pride in the diversity of interests amongst its members who share a common passion for anatomy. To study anatomy through the use of meta-analysis and systematic reviews in order to provide evidence-based anatomical data and improve clinical practice.
2. To help facilitate the transition of anatomy into an evidence-based medical science.
3. To further study potential links between anatomical variations and pathology through the use of evidence-based assessments.
4. To identify areas of anatomy that require further basic study through the use of evidence-based assessments.
5. To develop and improve guidelines for quality assessment of anatomical studies for the purposes of meta-analysis and systematic reviews.
6. To develop and improve guidelines for improving the quality and transparent reporting of anatomical studies.
7. To improve the methods and techniques of anatomical meta-analysis and systematic reviews.
8. To educate and spread the knowledge of evidence-based anatomy throughout the medical community. Coordinating Members:
