The growing trend of vanishing cadaveric dissection, pruning of anatomical curriculum, compression of teaching schedule of Anatomy, deployment of inappropriately qualified tutors and demonstrators and removal of expert and experienced anatomical faculty with closing of Anatomy department all over the world in general and USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand in particular due to commercialization of medical education has not only eroded standard of medical education but also accelerated the failure cases evidenced by rising medico‐legal cases. So there is worldwide clamor about inadequate knowledge of Anatomy among tomorrows’ doctors causing impediments to comprehend successful clinical practice in general and pathology, surgery, imagery and anestheology in particular. Although many anatomic and clinical stalwarts proposed ways and means to reform delivery/acquisition of Anatomy but hunger of earning chunk of profit from medical institutions never let the quality of medical education improve. Therefore, a new model of Anatomy, to strengthen delivery and acquisition of Anatomy for revolutionizing medical education, has been designed. If adopted divorcing greed of making money from medical schools to save holy and sacred quality medical education from ruining further, the medical profession in general and pathology, surgery, imagery and anestheology in particular will regain their lost glory. The literature was reviewed and factors, continuously contributing to falling standard and growing failure cases due to insufficient knowledge of Anatomy in trainees effecting clinical practice in medical education, were analysed. The analysis evolved model for development of Anatomy as a subject to root out these deficiencies by standardizing curriculum to be taught by medically qualified and experienced faculties with strong background of beautifully blended standalone and collaborative research in variant macro/microanatomy arresting failure cases and litigations. In addition to this, the model will create an environment for easy and necessary interaction of anatomists with clinicians/trainees through providing instant anatomical solution at all levels of medical education during clinical training of medical trainees directly from well guided cadaveric dissection by experienced faculty. The model will also generate readymade records in form of table or charts containing the variant macro/microanatomical information corresponding to relevant clinical complications to help clinicians/clinical trainees during clinical practice. This model will not only provide future reservoir of competent anatomical faculty but also revolutionize clinical skill tremendously among medical trainees.
