Pictures on a CD? Really?
Is this for gross anatomy lab too?

I asked the PBL student that was with us during lunch at my interview at LECOM-E and he said it's not a big deal. If you really want to visit the lab to get some clarification on certain things, you can ask for it. He assured me that "missing out" on cadavers hasn't hurt him in the slightest.

i just took my anatomy final yesterday and did well overall in the class. Outside of the thigh I found the cadavers to be essentially useless. In fact I never approached a body for the last test, about the head and neck, and it was the test I did the best on by far. Unless you are Ackland and work with cadavers that I'm pretty sure he killed himself then I can't see how you would get anything out of a cadaver that you can't get out of a CD. But we all have different learning styles.

I would learn best if they made a flight simulator where you could do barrel rolls through the whole body. But that's just me.

When I was in Chiropractic school, dissecting and working directly with the cadavers was my favorite part of anatomy lab. I couldn't imagine not having that contact.

Aside from missing out on the experience of sawing through a human head, I don't feel too badly about no cadavers. During review sessions for anatomy practicals, they'd show images of tagged structures on actual bodies to give the lecture pathway students an idea of what they should know, and all I could thing was, "Damn, that would really suck." Much easier to see a structure expertly dissected and highlighted instead of the mess of tissue they had to sort through.

I know where things are, how they relate to other structures, clinical correlations, and I'm assured by the upper classes that the national shelf exam is a cakewalk compared to our typical tests. Seems to meet the most important criteria for a good anatomy course.
