Commentary: Is There a Lack of Insight on the Anatomy Teaching Adaptations Made by “Cadaver-Free” Medical Schools in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic?

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted anatomy education as it ceased face-to-face anatomy teaching sessions and laboratory practicals. In the past 2 years, a growing body of literature has been dedicated to the adaptations made in the teaching of anatomy predominantly by medical schools who employ cadaveric dissection and prosection-based practicals to teach anatomy. Despite this, there is dearth of evidence in terms of the challenges that medical schools who do not use cadaveric dissection or prosected specimens to teach anatomy faced as well as the adaptations they made in response to the pandemic.
