Virtual dissection: An educational resource that improves medical students’ learning?
Palabras clave:
cadaveric disecction, human anatomy, medical education , virtual disecctionResumen
For centuries, the study of human anatomy has relied predominantly on cadaveric dissection. However, in the 21st century, anatomy education is undergoing a significant transformation driven by emerging technological innovations, including virtual dissection. This innovation can be repeated without the need for many cadavers, providing a safe environment, cost-effectiveness, and the opportunity to reassess complex concepts for undergraduate medical students. The educational value of virtual dissection tools depends on high-fidelity digital modeling and strategically designed clinical scenarios in anatomical instruction. Nevertheless, further research is required to determine the efficacy of virtual dissection and to evaluate its long-term impact on undergraduate medical students’ learning and retention of anatomical knowledge.
