| Background: In the field of Anatomy, it often becomes necessary to remember any part of information by memorization, and later retrieve it. However, finding appropriate anatomical mnemonics and organizing them in a practical and universally acceptable system can be challenging for learners, teachers, and researchers. This research aimed to develop a subcategorization format for four selected categories of anatomical mnemonics according to different identified characteristics and to determine the frequencies of each category and subcategory. Methods: This content analysis was conducted in the Department of Anatomy at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 2017 to 2018. Anatomical mnemonics were collected from various sources, including books, websites, and social media. A qualitative and quantitative content analysis was used for data analysis. Each 272 extracted anatomical mnemonics was categorized according to any of the four selected mnemonic techniques: Acronym, Acrostic, Rhyme, and Storytelling. A subcategorization format was then devised based on seven identifiable characteristics: Meaningfulness, Meaningful Relationship, Humor, Eroticism, Absurdity, Anatomical Aspect Dealt with, and Language. Each mnemonic was then subcategorized, and the frequency of each of those techniques and characteristics was finally calculated. Results: Over 70% of the 272 mnemonics utilized the Acrostic technique. Among the 59 identifiable options within the seven subcategories, 36 options were identified in the mnemonics, and the frequencies were finally reported. An eight-symbol formula was created to represent the techniques used and the characteristics identifiable in individual mnemonics. Conclusion: The findings contribute to the development of a database of anatomical mnemonics, facilitating the identification and selection of appropriate mnemonics for teaching, learning, and research. This database can also incorporate specific tags when adding new mnemonics. | ||
