Introducing e-learning/teaching in a physiology course for medical students: acceptance by students and subjective effect on learning.

abstract：:Many human anatomy courses are taught using cat dissection. Alternatives are available, but information regarding learning outcomes is incomplete. In 2003, approximately 120 undergraduates enrolled in a human anatomy course were assigned to one of two treatment groups. In the control group, students performed cat diss...
