Objectives: The epitympanum is a challenging area for teachers and learners of its anatomy. Its complex 3‐dimensional relations are difficult to appreciate using texts or 2‐dimensional diagrams. We developed an interactive computer‐based model the that can be viewed from all angles teaching learning. Methods: was evaluated by 21 fourth‐year medical students in 2013. Students were given textbooks, journal articles, diagrams study, followed demonstration spatial one session. A questionnaire...
