What is a cadaveric image? Don’t you use cadavers for the practical?
I would say be honest with yourself when doing anki. That is one of the pitfalls. It’s easy to cheat by clicking “easy” or “hard” when should be clicking “again”

This is why NYIT-JB should be on Goro's bad boy list. Virtual anatomy does not replace the real thing.

A lot of schools have gone to virtual anatomy instead of the real thing. Much less expensive, and much less controversial. The technology has been around at least 5 years now, and many schools that have made the switch have since been reaccredited at the MD level.
... and much less work for admin.
Depends on what you define as "work." In the early days, the faculty had to put in the upfront work in making sure their graphics worked with the system. It's a bit easier now, but as an instructor, it can be quite intensive to make sure everything's working.
But cleanup is definitely a lot easier. 🙂
Less cost in not having to purchase cadavers and disposal of formaldehyde waste.
Still, you can't beat poking around a real body. Just my humble opinion.
OP, you need to be talking to your anatomy faculty!!!
Physicians are supposed to better trained and held to higher standards. Virtual anatomy sounds more like whats being done at the 100% acceptance rate/ 100% online - NP diploma mills.
Bless your heart for thinking NPs have anatomy at all lol
