Objective: Despite organ donations, the need for organs is increasing daily, and efforts to increase organ donation continue without slowing down. Cadaver donation, necessary for medical education, is an issue waiting to be supported worldwide. In our study, a questionnaire was applied to measure the knowledge and attitudes of Turkish and international students toward organ and cadaver donation. Material and Methods: A total of 305 students, including 236 Turkish citizens and 68 international students, participated in the study. Students accessed the prepared questionnaires via a Google form. Results: It was determined that there was a statistical difference between Turkish and international students regarding their knowledge about organ donation compared to cadaver donation (Turkish students 78.8 % (n=186) yes, international students 57.,4 % (n=39) yes). In the social circles of Turkish and international students, organ donations were more common than cadaver donations, and a statistically significant difference was found for both groups (Turkish students 42.8 % (n=101) yes, international students 48.5 % (n=33) yes). The reasons for donating their bodies (Turkish students 48.3% (n=114) ''For use in organ transplantation'', international students 35.3 % (n=24) ''Because your body is useless after death and decays''), and organs (Turkish students 35.6 % (n=84), international students 32.4 % (n=22) ''For use in organ transplantation'') of Turkish and international students differed significantly. Conclusion: Based on the answers given by the students, it has been concluded that donations will increase when information is provided about the importance of organ and cadaver donation.

Anatomy is a foundational subject in medicine and serves as its language. Hippocrates highlighted its importance, while Herophilus pioneered human dissection, earning him the title of the founder of anatomy. Vesalius later established modern anatomy, which has since evolved historically. In Korea, formal anatomy education for medical training began with the introduction of Western medicine during the late Joseon Dynasty. Before and after the Japanese occupation, anatomy education was conducted in the German style, and after liberation, it was maintained and developed by a small number of domestic anatomists. Medicine in Korea has grown alongside the country’s rapid economic and social development. Today, 40 medical colleges produce world-class doctors to provide the best medical care service in the country. However, the societal demand for more doctors is growing in order to proactively address to challenges such as public healthcare issues, essential healthcare provision, regional medical service disparities, and an aging population. This study examines the history, current state, and challenges of anatomy education in Korea, emphasizing the availability of medical educators, support staff, and cadavers for gross anatomy instruction. While variations exist between Seoul and provincial medical colleges, each manages to deliver adequate education under challenging conditions. However, the rapid increase in medical student enrollment threatens to strain existing anatomy education resources, potentially compromising educational quality. To address these concerns, we propose strategies for training qualified gross anatomy educators, ensuring a sustainable cadaver supply, and enhancing infrastructure.

Introduction Cadaver dissection in anatomy, a cornerstone of medical school education, has been replaced by digital technologies. This study aimed to determine the learning outcomes nursing students could achieve through cadaveric dissection practice (CDP). Methods This scoping review was carried out using the checklist outlined in the Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews through August 2023. Articles from PubMed, ERIC, and CINAL were included. This scoping review included studies that focused on the learning effects of nursing students’ experiences with cadaver dissection, written in English, and covered all study types. Results The cadaveric dissection exercise resulted in a strong interest in the human body and a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. It also allows for creating an image of care for the patient before death, the meaning of existence after death, acceptance that death is not frightening, and an understanding of the afterlife. Furthermore, the cadaveric dissection exercise has been reported to improve confidence in patient care, lead to a better understanding of what other professions practice, and involve the development of professional identity. Conclusions Studies on the learning effects of CDP have differed in subject matter and educational methodologies. In the future, while determining how the experience of CDP is related to nursing practice of nursing students and graduates, we must explore effective CDP and develop educational methodologies that can achieve similar learning effects.
