Description
The learning of gross anatomy through the use of human cadaver dissection provides an intellectual, emotional and once in a lifetime learning experience. With human cadaver use being such an imperative way to learn human anatomy, many students are beginning to increasingly get this opportunity which equates into a multitude of different emotional responses amongst students of various different gender’s, religions and socio-demographics. However, to add this, the impediment to being able to fully maximize this unaccompanied experience/opportunity is the emotional influx amongst the student. With life experience, youth and allegiance towards their perspective (medical) endeavor possibly being in the outset stages, a greater risk level may plausibly be pertinent towards these types of individuals especially at the undergraduate level. The current study examines the possible emotional effects of “humanizing” and “non-humanizing” cadavers in a didactic setting for the purpose of dissection at the four-year undergraduate level. With moral connection being a vital part of the human personage and the increasing demand for medical professionals becoming increasingly relevant, identifying the best possible methods of instruction to alleviate negative response(s), may be a positive indicator for student retention for their perspective field, increased anatomical retention and application and cultivation of continuous professional development.
