The Covid-19 pandemic launched the use of online courses in Chinese medical schools during February 2020. To evaluate the state of gross anatomy education in China during the pandemic, a nationwide survey was conducted through convenience sampling by email or respondent invitations on social media. A total of 359 questionnaires were received from the respondents. The first response from a given school was included in the study to represent that school, thus, 77 questionnaires were used for analyses. Schools represented were from all provinces in mainland China as well as Hong Kong and Macao. The survey found that before the pandemic, 74.0% and 33.8% of the 77 schools conducted online theoretical and practical sessions, respectively, on gross anatomy, and 36 (46.8% of 77) had temporarily suspended practical sessions at the time the survey was conducted. Body donation programs were also affected with 26.0% and 27.3% of the 77 schools having suspended donation programs or saw a decreased number of donations. During the pandemic, 40.3% of the 77 schools kept or initiated the implementation of active learning, and online assessment was continued in 49.4% of the 77 medical schools. Another 26 (33.8%) schools initiated online assessment during the pandemic. A total of 359 answers were included for the analysis of the "teachers' perception of the online teaching experience." Over half (51.0%) of the 359 responded teachers were very statisfied or satisfied with the effectiveness of online teaching during the pandemic. A total of 36.2% of these respondents preferred to implement online teaching of theoretical sessions after the pandemic, and 89 (24.8%) teachers were keen to return to traditional face-to-face anatomy education.
新冠疫情于 2020 年 2 月推动了中国医学院校在线课程的使用。为了评估疫情期间中国大体解剖学教育的状况，通过电子邮件或社交媒体上的受访者邀请进行了全国范围的便利抽样调查。共收到 359 份问卷。从给定的学校收到的第一份回复被包括在研究中，以代表该学校，因此，77 份问卷用于分析。参与调查的学校来自中国大陆的所有省份以及香港和澳门。调查发现，在疫情之前，77 所学校中有 74.0%和 33.8%分别进行了大体解剖学的在线理论和实践课程，而在进行调查时，有 36 所（77 所中的 46.8%）暂时暂停了实践课程。遗体捐赠计划也受到了影响，77 所学校中有 26.0%和 27.3%暂停了捐赠计划或捐赠数量减少。在疫情期间，77 所学校中有 40.3%保持或开始实施主动学习，77 所医学院中有 49.4%继续进行在线评估。另外 26 所（33.8%）学校在疫情期间开始进行在线评估。共有 359 个答案被纳入对“教师对在线教学体验的看法”的分析。在 359 位回答问题的教师中，超过一半（51.0%）对疫情期间在线教学的有效性非常满意或满意。共有 36.2%的受访者更喜欢在疫情后实施理论课程的在线教学，而 89 名（24.8%）教师热衷于回归传统的面对面解剖学教育。
