Impact of Dissection on Under Graduate and Post Graduate Study in Medical Colleges
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Traditionally teaching of anatomy is based on cadaver dissection and hand on experience and practical demonstration classes. Recent trends of computer based education and power point presentation in classes and recent introduction of problem based learning has led to false belief that dissection is of no more help in understanding anatomy. The objective of the study was to access the views of post and under graduate students whether dissection sessions done at undergraduate level have helped them in better understanding anatomy and whether computer can be used in place of dissection. Questionnaires were distributed among 120 postgraduate medical students and 120 undergraduate students. It comprised questions in relation to the experience of dissection for postgraduate students who have done dissection during their undergraduate classes. Statistically significant percentage of students found that dissection is beneficial for post graduation. Dissection should be a part of study in medical curriculum and computer based education can be additive to the dissection. Keywords: Dissection, Questionnaires, Medical students.
