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

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.
