Attitude towards Dissection among First Year Students in a Medical College in Mandya
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Dissection has been used for centuries to explore anatomy. Objections to the use of cadavers have led to the use of alternatives including virtual dissection of computer models. The current state of dissection in Anatomy is deteriorating. The number of hours spent by the students in dissection labs during medical school has decreased substantially over the last few years. The future of anatomy will be probably an elegant mix of traditional method and computer learning. Aim: To study the attitude of first year medical students towards dissection. Materials and Method: A cross sectional questionnaire based study was conducted in the department of Anatomy, Adichunchanagiri Institute of medical sciences, BG Nagara on 150 first year medical students. The data obtained was analyzed statistically. Results: Most of the students believed that dissection is an important tool and it facilitates anatomy learning. According to them it improves the skill but at the same time it consumes a lot of time. Conclusion: The use of dissection in medical training has been shown more effective in the retention of intended information than their simulated counterparts. The combinations of these methods are intended to strengthen the students understanding of anatomy, a subject that is infamously difficult to master.
