hi, i'm just curious which schools do prosection and if ppl here think its a distinct advantage over dissection or not. Specifically, i was curious about Dartmouth, Case Western, and Vanderbilt. Thanks and have a great day 🙂.

A lot of schools have both -- you dissect on your own, and there's also a prosection to look at to see what you really should have found. That's the optimal set up, because while it's nice to see a pristine dissection, there is no substitute in terms of learning over doing it yourself. At least one (british) study found that med students prefer dissection to prosection -- see http://www.studentbmj.com/issues/03/06/news/180a.php
