Teaching language

Suitable for English-speaking students

Objectives

Some of the unique aspects of cadaveric dissection include the realistic nature of this teaching medium, which allows students to obtain a clear three-dimensional image of the organization of the human body, to prove the existence of variations of normality, to analyze the texture of human tissues, and sometimes, observe and understand pathological conditions.

 As well as being an indisputably important method of learning anatomy, it reinforces the attitudes of respect and compassion among medical students.

It also allows you to learn techniques of dissection and acquire manual dexterity, essential for all future doctors.

 It also enables students to develop critical thinking, problem solving skills and practical application of knowledge
