Professor Jaeho Lee of the Department of Anatomy at Keimyung University School of Medicine announced on the 26th that he, along with four medical students (Moon Hyukjun, Ahn Junhyung, Lee Junghyun, Lee Junchai), has published a new book titled Conversations of Medical Students.
This book unfolds stories hidden within anatomy and intriguing tales from the perspective of medical students. It explores the history, myths, and cultural backgrounds surrounding anatomy, and explains everyday questions such as why the coronary artery is called the "crown" using anatomical knowledge.
Additionally, it is structured from the learner’s viewpoint based on curiosities directly experienced by medical students, offering a special experience where science and humanities meet, including bodily changes that occurred during human evolution and the roles of the body interpreted through culture and mythology.
Professor Jaeho Lee said, “I reflected on the qualities of a physician with humanistic insight together with medical students. Through this book, I hope it becomes a general knowledge book that anyone can easily read, going beyond simply approaching medicine or anatomy academically.”
Meanwhile, Professor Jaeho Lee graduated from Keimyung University School of Medicine in 2007 and earned his Ph.D. in Anatomy from the same university. Since 2015, he has been teaching as an assistant professor of anatomy at Keimyung University School of Medicine. He has also received awards such as the Korean Medical Association’s Basic Medical Science Academic Award, the Korean Association of Anatomists’ Bitnal Award, and Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center Research Expo’s Researcher of the Year Award. Notably, his previous works, The Anatomist Who Went to the Art Museum and The Anatomist Who Went to the Olympics, were selected as Sejong Books by the Korea Publication Culture Promotion Agency.
