Over the last two decades many medical schools have been exploring alternatives to hands-on cadaver dissection in teaching anatomy. This study aimed at reporting medical students' feedback on using dissection videos in teaching anatomy of the musculoskeletal system.
Dissection videos were used to teach the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system for third year medical students. At the end of the module, feedbacks from medical students were reported using a questionnaire designed for this purpose. Statistically valid responses were considered for 284 students.
Around 60% of the students enjoyed learning anatomy by watching dissection videos but the majority - mostly non-Jordanian - thought that the duration of the videos should be shorter. 83% (236/284)of the students enjoyed the presence of an instructor to guide them through the video and 85% (241/284) wanted to discuss the content with the instructor after watching. Most of the students liked to have access to the videos at any time in an open lab policy. Only 23% (66/284) of the students - mostly Jordanian - were willing to completely replace cadaveric prosections with dissection videos. Most of the students found that dissection videos helped them to understand anatomy lectures in a better way and in memorizing anatomical details. A significantly higher percentage of Jordanian students preferred watching dissection videos at home and preferred dissection videos to replace traditional anatomy lab sessions.
In the light of our present findings, using dissection videos as a teaching method of anatomy was well received by students. However, it seemed that the students wanted dissection videos to be integrated with using cadaveric prosections rather than replacing them.
在过去的二十年中，许多医学院一直在探索替代实物尸体解剖的方法来教授解剖学。本研究旨在报告医学生对使用解剖视频教授肌肉骨骼系统解剖学的反馈。
为三年级医学生使用解剖视频教授肌肉骨骼系统解剖学。在模块结束时，使用为此目的设计的问卷报告医学生的反馈。统计有效回复被认为来自 284 名学生。
大约 60%的学生喜欢通过观看解剖视频学习解剖学，但大多数（主要是非约旦学生）认为视频的时长应该更短。83%（236/284）的学生喜欢有讲师指导他们观看视频，85%（241/284）希望在观看后与讲师讨论内容。大多数学生希望在开放实验室政策下随时可以访问视频。只有 23%（66/284）的学生（主要是约旦学生）愿意完全用解剖视频代替尸体解剖。大多数学生发现解剖视频帮助他们更好地理解解剖学讲座和记忆解剖细节。相当一部分约旦学生更喜欢在家观看解剖视频，也更喜欢用解剖视频代替传统的解剖实验室课程。
根据我们目前的发现，使用解剖视频作为解剖学教学方法受到学生的欢迎。然而，学生似乎希望将解剖视频与使用尸体解剖结合起来，而不是取代它们。
