ABSTRACT

Even though spatial and temporal conditions for cadaver lab have been worsened under the COVID-19 situation, anatomy teachers are seeking for optimal methods. In the institution of the authors, medical students are divided into two groups for cadaver lab to prevent possible infection. A questionnaire survey has been administered to the student and teachers, so as to evaluate the educational effect of dividing into two groups for cadaver lab. While approximately 10 students dissected one cadaver before COVID-19, approximately 5 students dissected one cadaver at the same time under the COVID-19 situation. Majority of students answered that the number of students per table was optimal in both spatial and temporal perspectives. However, the difficulty in communication between the two student groups was suggested as a major problem. The study suggests that students generally had positive opinions on the grouping method for cadaver lab. Even after the COVID-19 situation, the grouping method can be partially applied to draw its merit for effective anatomy teaching.
