Main Results:

  • Over 50% of students were satisfied with the two-stage anatomy course.
  • Cadaver dissection was identified as the most beneficial learning component.
  • Students' understanding and memory of anatomy were enhanced.
  • No significant change in National Licensing Examination performance was observed.
  • Disagreement existed regarding reduced learning burden and attitude change towards death.

Conclusions:

  • A hybrid anatomy curriculum integrating traditional cadaver dissection with innovative elements can be effective.
  • Cadaver dissection remains a valuable tool in anatomy education.
  • Further long-term evaluation is necessary to assess the full impact on student knowledge and performance.
