Abstract

 The provision of learning gross anatomy in medical colleges provides an emotional as well as intellectual approach to medical education. The teaching of gross anatomy has, for centuries, relied on the dissection of human cadavers. Past research suggests that students find work on a cadaver to be distressing, but also rewarding. Hands-on educational experiences on cadavers can also stimulate student’s interest, increase knowledge retention and enhance development of clinical skills. Learning on human cadavers is complex learning experience and is not easy to quantify and evaluate objectively.

Such aspect pertains to question of professionalization, social skill and attitude towards death. There have been pro and con arguments on whether medical students should dissect the whole body or learn from pre-dissected bodies. The present study is an attempt to improve the concepts of Anatomy by supplementation of dissection videos and simultaneous osteology teaching during routine classroom dissections.
