This pilot study was conducted to determine whether or not it is necessary for an occupational therapy (OT) student to dissect a human cadaver in order to gain the knowledge of human anatomy required for subsequent course work in neuroanatomy, kinesiology, and occupational therapy theory and practice in physical dysfunction. Junior students were permitted to select either an anatomy course in which they dissected human cadavers or one in which prosected models were used. Similarity of the academic ability of students in each of the two groups was assured by comparing cumulative grade point averages at the end of the sophomore year. Final grades in neuroanatomy, kinesiology, and the OT course were used as criteria for comparing the effects of the two anatomy course formats. Results indicate that when students are permitted to select the anatomy class of their choice, there is no significant difference in grades in subsequent related course work.
本试点研究旨在确定职业治疗（OT）专业的学生是否有必要解剖人体尸体，以获取神经解剖学、运动学以及身体功能障碍的职业治疗理论与实践后续课程所需的人体解剖学知识。允许低年级学生选择解剖人体尸体的解剖学课程或使用已解剖模型的课程。通过比较大二学年末的累积平均绩点，确保两组中每组学生学术能力的相似性。将神经解剖学、运动学和职业治疗课程的最终成绩作为比较两种解剖学课程形式效果的标准。结果表明，当允许学生选择他们自己喜欢的解剖学课程时，后续相关课程作业的成绩没有显著差异。
