Does anyone have any actual statistics showing that teaching the nervous and endocrine systems early in API (before muscles and bones) helps students do better and APII, and subsequently, in future health care programs?

I suspect that most of our convictions about the best way to teach A&P, including the sequence of topics, are based on gut feelings more than evidence. I'd be very surprised if there were any adequately controlled studies that traced different cohorts of students, taught by different methods in A&P, to see which ones were more successful in their clinical coursework or their careers.
