Anatomy lives in the dissection hall: Post‐Covid‐19 perception of students

We read the recent Anatomical Sciences Education articles by Harmon et al. (2021) and Attardi et al. (2022) with great interest. These studies rendered a clear picture of the paradigm shifts in anatomy teaching before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The authors found that there was a significant decrease in face-to-face interactions and cadaver-based instructions because compulsory lockdowns have necessitated virtual classes to maintain student safety (Harmon et al., 2021, Attardi et al., 2022).
