Objective of this study is to identify the perception, attitude and importance of cadaveric dissection and the knowledge of Anatomy as a subject at the second MBBS exam. Information regarding the learning and teaching methodologies in anatomy dissection were collected and the results of gross Anatomy SPOT tests were compared with the final second MBBS results. Total of 131 students participated in the study. Ninety one (69.4%) had some knowledge in Anatomy prior to their entry in to the Medical Faculty. One hundred and twenty seven (97%) subjects pointed that the cadaveric dissection is essential in learning Anatomy. Out of all, 79.3% were actively participated in the dissections. Majority (85.5%) of subjects identified that working together as a team in the dissection theater will helpful in learning Anatomy. Higher grade obtainers (A&B) in SPOTs had more classes in second MBBS. Failure rate was higher in lower grade obtainers and this was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Majority of students actively participated in dissecting a cadaver and used it as a major learning methodology in Anatomy as a subject. Medical students are benefited by working together as a team during Anatomy dissections. Cadaveric dissection still has an important role to play in undergraduate medical education in Sri Lanka. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
