Abstract

The COVID-19 crisis created unprecedented conditions for the medical academic system that enable it to showcase the real value of learning approaches in anatomical education. In parallel, the ongoing reassessment of the role of dissection in medical training, given the huge advances in imaging technology and science education, continued. The present study investigates the response of the six Israeli medical faculties to the pandemic vis-à-vis anatomical education. We reached out to medical students studying anatomy at the time of the crisis (N = 311), advanced medical students working as anatomy instructors (N = 55), and deans and heads of anatomy departments (N = 6). Applying a mixed-method approach, we used Likert scale questionnaires and held in-depth interviews with faculty members. Our results indicate that Israeli medical faculties were committed to a dissection-based anatomy curriculum and made substantial efforts to maintain it in the face of health restrictions. Students appreciated these efforts as this was their preferred learning method. Through a phenomenological analysis of interviews, we demonstrate how the crisis opened up a unique prism through which new insights into the debated role of dissection may be gleaned. Our analysis also reveals that anatomy instructors played a pivotal role in the crisis, not only because they carried out faculty policy, but especially because it gave them the opportunity to determine policy and show leadership. The crisis additionally enabled faculties to cultivate their leadership skills. Our research confirms donor body dissection as a mainstay of anatomical education and emphasizes its immeasurable value to the curriculum and future physicians.

以色列医学院应对新冠肺炎危机与解剖教育:培养未来学术领袖——一项全国混合方法研究。
新冠肺炎危机为医学学术系统创造了前所未有的条件,使其能够展示解剖学教育中学习方法的真正价值。与此同时,鉴于成像技术和科学教育的巨大进步,正在继续重新评估解剖在医学培训中的作用。本研究调查了以色列六所医学院相对于解剖教育对疫情的反应。危机发生时,我们联系了学习解剖学的医学生(N = 311),担任解剖学讲师的高级医学生(N = 55),以及院长和解剖部门负责人(N = 6) 。采用混合方法,我们使用了Likert量表,并对教职员工进行了深入访谈。我们的研究结果表明,以色列医学院致力于以解剖为基础的解剖学课程,并在面临健康限制的情况下做出了重大努力来维持这一课程。学生们对这些努力表示赞赏,因为这是他们喜欢的学习方法。通过对采访的现象学分析,我们展示了这场危机是如何打开一个独特的棱镜的,通过这个棱镜,我们可以对解剖的争论作用获得新的见解。我们的分析还表明,解剖学教师在这场危机中发挥了关键作用,不仅因为他们执行了教师政策,尤其是因为这给了他们决定政策和展现领导力的机会。这场危机还使学院能够培养他们的领导技能。我们的研究证实,供体解剖是解剖教育的支柱,并强调其对课程和未来医生的不可估量的价值。
