Abstract

Background: Cadaveric dissection is an important experience for every medical student. However a first year student goes through a variety of responses on exposure to cadaveric dissection. Aim: This study was undertaken to note the various attitudes of first year M.B.B.S. student.

Methods: Questionnaires were administered to willing candidates out of 250 first M.B.B.S. students to determine attitude of students to cadaveric dissection. Result: 22.14% had recurrent thoughts of the cadaver during the first week of dissection. 5.1% had thoughts about leaving the course in the first week. These thoughts decreased to 0% after 8 weeks of dissection. 85.11% students felt that interaction with Anatomy teachers helped them to emotionally cope with the stress. Conclusion: We conclude that cadaveric dissection is an indispensible learning tool of medical education. Better student staff interaction will help the student
cope with stress of first year curriculum.
