Confusion still exists about the anatomy to be taught to the medical undergraduate. We did an interview‐based survey at the Melaka Manipal Medical College in Manipal, India, to try to evaluate the quantum of anatomy that should be taught to the medical undergraduate. The results suggest that excluding trivia and making anatomy more clinically oriented would be advantageous. A hybrid approach to anatomy including both problem‐based learning and discipline‐based curricula would be a better option than the regional or systemic approaches.
