Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anatomy
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Traditional medical school anatomy curricula may not include cadaver dissection.
  • This can lead to challenges in applying anatomical knowledge during residency training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the impact of cadaver dissection on a resident's anatomical knowledge and surgical skills.
  • To highlight the clinical relevance of hands-on anatomical learning.

Main Methods:

  • A medical student's personal experience and diary entries during an ophthalmology residency dissection.
  • Guidance from a medical school anatomist for dissection of the orbit, periorbital regions, and cranial cavity.

Main Results:

  • Despite initial challenges, the resident successfully learned dissection techniques.
