Student’s Perception of Dissecting a Human Cadaver Compared to Usage of 3D Anatomy Virtual Dissection Table to Learn Gross Anatomy

Abstract

Background: Limited availability of cadaver and modern discoveries has led to alternate channels to gain anatomy knowledge. Aim: To know the perception of these new sources compared to conventional human dissection.
