Medical education in developing countries is faced with an acute shortage of men, material, money and management. While teaching anatomy in Iran, the author was faced with a complex situation with abundant money and a formidable language barrier on account of poor knowledge of English on part of the students. In response to these local problems, he evolved a diagrammatic approach involving a purposive and discriminatory coloring of predrawn diagrams, depicting essential anatomical characteristics of the region. These diagrams were compiled in form of a workbook. It was hypothesized that this approach will result in better learning through motivation, render instruction more conveniently and easily managed andimprove the attitudes towards anatomy. The effectiveness was evaluated by comparing the responses to a questionnaire and examination scores of ttudents taught with and without the aid of a workbook.
