The anatomy course during the time of COVID-19 - students’ initiation of reflections on life’s passing in dissection and non-dissection anatomy courses

During the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person cadaveric dissection to teach anatomy was often omitted. While knowledge-based assessment can be evaluated via remote exams, soft skills (e.g., reflections on the topic of death) can often be overlooked. This study aims to quantitatively investigate how different anatomy course formats play a role in initiating students’ reflections on life’s passing, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
