Inuwa, Ibrahim Muhammad; Al Rawahy, Maimouna; Taranikanti, Varna; Habbal, Omar – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2011
In most medical schools, summative practical examination in Anatomy usually takes the format of a "steeplechase" ("spotters" or "bell ringers") conducted in the gross anatomy laboratory using cadaveric material and prosected specimens. Recently, we have started to administer similar examinations online using the quiz…

McWatt, Sean C.; Newton, Genevieve S.; Umphrey, Gary J.; Jadeski, Lorraine C. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
Many institutions rely upon prosection-based laboratories as more resource-efficient and time-effective alternatives to traditional cadaver dissection for human anatomy education. To facilitate growing enrollment numbers despite resource limitations, the University of Guelph (a non-medical institution) introduced a modified "stepwise"…

Nguyen, Ngan; Wilson, Timothy D. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2009
Advances in computer and interface technologies have made it possible to create three-dimensional (3D) computerized models of anatomical structures for visualization, manipulation, and interaction in a virtual 3D environment. In the past few decades, a multitude of digital models have been developed to facilitate complex spatial learning of the…

Giuriato, Rosemary; Štrkalj, Goran; Meyer, Amanda J.; Pather, Nalini – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Human anatomy knowledge is a core requirement for all health care clinicians. There is a paucity of information relating to anatomy content and delivery in Australian chiropractic programs. The aim of this study was to describe anatomy teaching in Australian chiropractic programs, utilizing a survey which was distributed to all four programs,…

Most anatomists agree that cadaver dissection serves as a superior teaching tool in human anatomy education. However, attitudes toward body donation vary widely between different individuals. A questionnaire was developed to determine the attitudes toward body and organ donation among those who learn the most from cadavers: medical students,…

Barber, H. Dexter; And Others – Journal of Dental Education, 1993
A University of Michigan dental school curriculum for oral surgery that uses human cadaver heads is described. Selection, preparation, and laboratory use of the materials are outlined. Faculty and students have received the sequence well and found it prepared them for clinical rotation. (MSE)

Dosani, Farah; Neuberger, Lindsay – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2016
Medical students begin their education inside a laboratory dissecting cadavers to learn human gross anatomy. Many schools use the course experience as a way to instill empathy and some have begun integrating video and recorded interviews with body donors to humanize the experience, but their impact has yet to be measured. This study examines the…

Randler, Christoph; Wüst-Ackermann, Peter; Demirhan, Eda – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2016
Dissections of human organs and animals are an important part of medical and science education but students usually express negative emotions towards dissections. Some studies show a negative influence of disgust and anxiety on motivation, interest and achievement. Therefore, reducing anxiety and disgust should be an important aim. As humor can…

Wright, Shirley J. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2012
Several programs in health professional education require or are considering requiring upper-level human anatomy as prerequisite for their applicants. Undergraduate students are confronted with few institutions offering such a course, in part because of the expense and logistical issues associated with a cadaver-based human anatomy course. This…

MacLeod, Anna; Cameron, Paula; Luong, Victoria; Kovacs, George; Patrick, Lucy; Fredeen, Molly; Kits, Olga; Tummons, Jonathan – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2023
Human body donation (HBD) serves an essential function in many medical schools, particularly in institutions where people engage in cadaver-based simulation (CBS) as a pedagogical approach. The people who facilitate HBD and CBS have a highly specialized skill set, yet their expertise remains largely unacknowledged, and takes place out of sight…

Horne, David J. de L.; And Others – Academic Medicine, 1990
A survey of 100 first-year medical students found that, although they felt adequately prepared prior to exposure to a human cadaver, they wished greater preparation after the experience, especially through more discussion with anatomy staff. Results suggest a need for preparation for coping with dissection and followup for professional and…

Harris, David E. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1997
Describes a technique for downloading digital images of a fresh human cadaver from a commercially available CD-ROM and from the Internet. The images can be annotated to illustrate specific anatomic features and display groups of images in a format that is easy to use during lectures and accessible to undergraduate students for study during and…

Richardson, Nicolette S.; Zwambag, Derek; McFall, Kristen; Andrews, David M.; Gregory, Diane E. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
The synthetic cadaver is a high-fidelity model intended to replace or supplement other anatomy learning modalities. Academic attainment and student perceptions were examined in an undergraduate human anatomy course using a combination of plastic models and synthetic cadavers to learn lower body anatomy ("Experimental group"), compared to…

Rosario, Martín G. – Journal of Learning and Teaching in Digital Age, 2022
While cadaver dissection and prosection are deemed quintessential methods for studying anatomy, these methods are attenuated by the flat, 2-D structures incorporated into didactic segments of the anatomy courses that minimize students' ability to comprehend anatomy, leading to constraints in the teaching and learning experience. Several tools,…

Gitto, Lorenzo; Middleton, Frank A.; Reynolds, Erin S.; Thangamani, Saravanan; Jaeger, Daniel A.; Mihaila, Dana M. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected the medical education worldwide. The infection risk for medical students and healthcare personnel who work with COVID-19 positive cadavers or tissues remains unclear. Moreover, COVID-19 positive cadavers have been rejected by medical schools, adversely impacting the continuum of medical education. Herein,…
