6. How to respect a cadaver?/Cadaver is our first teacher.

   Hints:

   Focusing on humanistic values in the medical curriculum has become increasingly challenging, as medical care has grown to become more technical and medical education has become more centred on procedures. Dissection still plays a key role in the beginning of the medical curriculum as a means of learning the human anatomy. Therefore, the dissection hall would be a logical starting point for humanistic education.

   Being aware of the ethical and humanitarian values of cadaveric dissection could benefit students by widening their perspective on cadavers during the early stages of their education. Cadaveric dissection is an ancient yet powerful learning tool for medical students. The dissection of a body must be carried out in a respectful manner to show continued reverence towards the deceased person until the very end.

   The students undergo such training from the beginning of their curriculum with the intention of sensitising them towards the handling of the cadavers and allowing them to understand the significance of a body donor's contribution, thus creating a remarkable impact on their attitude towards cadaver. Undergraduate medical education has undergone considerable changes. Focus is not only directed on acquiring knowledge and obtaining skills, but also on the attitude students develop throughout the learning process. Cadaveric dissection continues to serve as a major learning tool for medical undergraduates and it is sustained by the active voluntary body donation programme, which is the medical schools' main source of cadavers.
