Objectives: COVID-19 pandemic has brought challenges to learn the anatomy subject for the students. Perception & online opinion has been taken from the students of SVS medical college, Mahbubnagar, on teaching and learning methods of anatomy, before and at the time of covid-19 pandemic Materials and Methods: students feedback has been collected through google forms - online survey opinion & Inputs were collected from the 113 MBBS students of the academic year 2019-2020, who had just completed their first year syllabus in both offline and online teaching methods, before lockdown and after lockdown (September-2019 to December-2020). Present study was done by using specially designed questionnaire comprising of points relating to the present curriculum in anatomy & teaching methodology at SVS Medical College, Mahbubnagar. Results: Students point of view, online teaching like streaming (ZOOM MEETING, GOTO MEETING & CISCO WEBEX) was not that much effective. Majority of the students opted for the best method for online teaching was recorded video or voice over PPT’S are the best option than the online streaming classes. Finally the students have opted for Traditional teaching like chalk & talk fallowed by PPT Presentation. Gross anatomy was mainly learned by the dissections involved by the students and faculty side by side. Histology was mainly learned by spending the more time on the microscope & involved in small group teaching. Embryology was mainly understood by small group teaching with the help of 3D models. Conclusion: The study concluded that the chalk and talk teaching fallowed by PPT’S, dissection by the students along with the faculty and spending more time on the microscope with small group teaching were the best methods to approach the anatomy subject. KEY WORDS: Students perception, Anatomy teaching learning methods, online and offline, chalk & talk, dissection.

Abstract Background On the 23rd March 2020 the government issued a nationwide lockdown in response to COVID-19. Using Microsoft Teams software, Brighton and Sussex Medical School transitioned to remote surgical teaching. We discuss the early feedback from students and tutors. Method All students (N = 40) and tutors (N = 7) were invited to complete an online feedback survey. Results Twenty students responded. Nine preferred remote teaching. The teaching was described as either good (10/20) or excellent (10/20). Small group teaching, lectures and student lead seminar sessions all received positive feedback. Students preferred sessions that were interactive. One hour was optimal (17/20). There was no consensus over class size. 15/20 (75%) would like remote teaching to continue after the pandemic. All tutors responded. There was a preference towards shorter sessions: 45 minutes (2/7) one hour (5/7). Tutors found virtual sessions less interactive (6/7). All tutors would like remote teaching to continue after the pandemic. Three suggested extending teaching to remote surgical ward rounds. Concern was raised by both students and tutors regarding the absence of practical skills. Conclusions The value of remote teaching has been highlighted by COVID-19. Our feedback recommends a transition towards blended learning; using the convenience of remote teaching to help augment traditional medical school teaching.
