Abstract:Objective: We are experiencing the effects of Covid-19 pandemic as the whole world. All educational facilities have been negatively affected within this period. In this study, the aim was to evaluate online Anatomy education during Covid-19 pandemic with students’ feedbacks and it was questioned whether it would be efficient to use online education more actively in the following years.Methods: A total of 1127 first and second year students from Dentistry Faculty and Medicine Faculty of Düzce, Karabük and İnönü Universities were included in the study. The survey prepared in “Google Forms” was sent online to students via “WhatsApp” application. Descriptive statistical analyses were used in data.Results: According to analysis results, it was found that the students agreed on the content and efficiency of online anatomy education, not having learning difficulties, the layout of the lessons, the importance of the lesson, the necessity for their profession, the importance of visual tools, they are worried about not being able to do face-to-face lessons, and anatomy theoretical courses shouldn’t be taught online when the pandemics is over. It was found that medicine faculty students placed more importance on anatomy education in terms of professional aspects.Conclusions: As a result, we believe that the online Anatomy education students receive is important in terms of their professional development. However, we believe that it won’t be possible for online Anatomy education to replace face-to-face education. This study will be a resource for studies to be conducted in medicine and health sciences fields in terms of online education.
