Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved..

From time immemorial, cadaveric dissection has been commonly employed as a method of practical teaching and learning for anatomical education globally. Conventionally, cadaveric dissection has been embraced and widely accepted as the best fit for comprehensive and gross teaching in anatomy education, thus placing an undue rise in cadavers' demands. The emergence of the new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has posed significant effects on medical education with substantial impacts on anatomy education, as seen in the shift from classroom to virtual learning. An essential area of anatomy education and training requiring immediate consideration is the position of cadaveric dissection in a post-COVID-19 era, which entails the safety of cadavers from possible SARS-CoV-2 infection before their use. This article explores the place of cadaveric dissection in post-COVID-19 anatomy education.
