Using funding through class gifts established by alumni, we have created an online library of dissection videos to further aid MCW Clinical Human Anatomy (CHA) students in their work. Our goal is to help students better understand key structures, improve their dissections, dissect more efficiently, and prepare for exams. In addition, the video library can be used at satellite locations to assist remote anatomy faculty and homogenize the dissection experience MCW provides. Methods We dissected a male and female cadaver following the M1 dissection manual, taking instructional video footage at discrete points. The finished dissection videos have been uploaded to an Amazon S3 server where they can be accessed by students through an online portal we created. These videos are accessible through computer, tablet, or smartphone. Results Lab group efficacy data will be collected via survey and compared to previous years’ data. Additional objective indicators include website requests timestamped by the Amazon server, practical exam scores, and dissection grades. Conclusion/Discussion We hope that our project results in a very useful resource for students in the anatomy lab to achieve listed lab objectives, identify key structures, and improve the quality and efficacy of their work. We also hope to have provided a beneficial study aid to prepare students for the anatomy exams. Early subjective reports from faculty and students at MCW's new satellite campus in Green Bay indicate that the video library has been immensely valuable in establishing the course.
