Title: Across the Metaverse of Modern Anatomy Education
Objectives:
1. Describe the impact of the pandemic on the evolution of modern anatomy teaching
2. Identify practical applications of modern teaching technology in anatomy education
3. Describe how the cadaveric laboratory can be leveraged to best benefit current medical trainees
Description
The pandemic altered the landscape of medical anatomy education, moving what was historically a very practical and hands-on foundational medical science to virtual modes of delivery.
This massive shift resulted in many novel innovative approaches that aimed to best serve the medical student in that era. As we progress to a post-pandemic world, the question arises as to which of these pandemic-era innovations can and should be considered essential in teaching our future students. There is also consideration to what the role of cadaveric-based education could and should play in modern medical programs. We will cut across the universe of evidence-based approaches that need to be considered when evaluating how to best educate students, now and in the future.
