Description
Summary:The current scenario of Pandemic has disrupted the classic morbid anatomy teaching dissection module for both educators and trainee. Moreover, lack of universal system of procedure for cadaver management optimization in context of education purpose is missing and not optimized. Debates for advocacy or avoidance of cadaveric dissection with probable COVID-19 infection, so far had been inconclusive. Pragmatic guidelines for cadaver reception for scholastic purpose, safe disposal, best forensic practice concerned with health personnel staff, technical and ethical issues are upcoming at a brisk pace although arbitrary implying standardization. There is a need for finding coherence and congruence with directives of regulatory bodies for medical teaching and available acts in current scenario. Hence, we endeavor for providing an insight into the needs and solutions in light of recent evidences.
