description Whole body dissection, once a long‐held method of learning and teaching in anatomy medical education, has largely been replaced by cost and time‐reduced methods of teaching. This paper reports on a longitudinal study of student knowledge acquisition and retention, following six annual intensive eight‐week elective anatomy by whole body dissection (AWBD) courses implemented between 2010 and 2015, utilizing a modified team‐based learning (TBL) pedagogy. A total of 160 students completed the intensive full‐time courses. During each course, students, in groups of five or six, completed the dissection of a whole cadaver. Students were assessed by a standardized practical test involving the accurate identification of 20 different tagged anatomical structures. All students (n = 160) completed pre‐course and end‐course individual assessments. Seventy students were assessed again 1 month after the course ended. A further 71 students were assessed 7 months later. A marked increase in topographical relational anatomical knowledge was demonstrated. The median pre‐course score was 9/20 (interquartile range 5). The median end‐course score was 19/20 (IQR 2), a statistically significant increase (p

The results of this study demonstrate that AWBD, provides significant acquisition and maintenance of three‐dimensional regional relational anatomical knowledge. As an elective, AWBD has a place in the medical curricula, particularly for students interested in a surgical or procedural based specialty career.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0897-3806</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1098-2353</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1002/ca.23861</identifier><identifier>PMID: 35368123</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Hoboken, USA: John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc</publisher><subject>Anatomy ; anatomy by whole body dissection ; Assessments ; Communication ; Communications ; Curricula ; Dissection ; Knowledge acquisition ; Learning ; Longitudinal studies ; medicine ; Statistical analysis ; Students ; surgery ; Teaching methods ; team‐based learning</subject><ispartof>Clinical anatomy (New York, N.Y.), 2022-07, Vol.35 (5), p.550-559</ispartof><rights>2022 The Authors. published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of American Association for Clinical Anatomists and the British Association for Clinical Anatomists.</rights><rights>2022 The Authors.
