Dissection videos as a supplementary teaching method for first MBBS students
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Learning gross anatomy is very important for medical students to get a first three dimensional image about the structure of the human body which is the basis for understanding principles of modern medical science. Supplementation of dissection videos before actual cadaveric dissection helps students to increase their subject interest, subject knowledge and to improve their examination performance. It also improves dissection skill and reduces the dissection time. During undergraduate teaching, video clips of concerned topic were shown to 100 MBBS first year students at the end of theory lecture of related topic. Anatomical structures related to that dissection region were shown in videos, layer wise from superficial (skin incision) to deep (fibro-osseous) aspect. Then students went to dissection hall and dissected related region on human cadaver start from skin incision to all aspects of dissection. Feedback was taken from all 100 first MBBS students with the help of questionnaire. From this study we can concludes that, exposure of dissection videos before actual cadaveric dissection helps students to increase their subject interest, create 3D image, locate as well as differentiate different structures and to improve dissection skill. Thus this method can supplement human cadaveric dissection but should not replace human cadaveric dissection.
