The students were a bit at a loss, however, to articulate what would substitute for the dissection experience -- they talked about the shared experience of seeing patients together, grappling with a particularly challenging/perplexing diagnosis. I thought that it was a far cry from the communal, shared experience of dissection, however.... Maybe we are at a crossroad, and future med students simply won't have the same experience as their predecessors. That's a pretty consequential change -- a re-definition of their identity. Jim Thomas,
