The outbreak of COVID-19, resulting from widespread transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, represents one of the foremost current challenges to societies across the globe, with few areas of life remaining untouched. Here, we detail the immediate impact that COVID-19 has had on the teaching and practice of anatomy, providing specific examples of the varied responses from several UK, Irish and German universities and medical schools. Alongside significant issues for, and suspension of, body donation programmes, the widespread closure of university campuses has led to challenges in delivering anatomy education via online methods, a particular problem for a practical, experience-based subject such as anatomy. We discuss the short-term consequences of COVID-19 for body donation programmes and anatomical education, and highlight issues and challenges that will need to be addressed in the medium to long term in order to restore anatomy education and practice throughout the world.
COVID-19 的爆发源于 SARS-CoV-2 病毒的广泛传播，是当前对全球社会的主要挑战之一，几乎涉及生活的各个方面。在这里，我们详细介绍了 COVID-19 对解剖学教学和实践的直接影响，并提供了来自英国、爱尔兰和德国几所大学和医学院的不同应对措施的具体示例。除了遗体捐赠计划面临的重大问题和暂停外，大学的广泛关闭也导致通过在线方式进行解剖学教育面临挑战，这对于解剖学等以实践为基础的学科来说是一个特别的问题。我们讨论了 COVID-19 对遗体捐赠计划和解剖学教育的短期影响，并强调了为了在全球范围内恢复解剖学教育和实践，在中长期需要解决的问题和挑战。
