Introduction: Digital anatomy uses new multimedia and Three-Dimensional (3D) tools. In Senegal, this
teaching approach is less widespread. The aim of our study is to evaluate the content and impact of the use
of Virtual Dissection Table (VDT) in the development phase in the learning of osteology.
Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study is conducted with presenters and students enrolled in first year of
medical study at Cheikh Anta Diop University in 2021-2022. The practical work sessions of osteology take place with
the articulation of two methods: Traditional classical and digital. This required the use of VDT in addition to other
conventional equipment.
Results: For 93.6% of students, the explanations were given using the VDT were clear or very clear. In 94.1%
of cases, they were satisfied .. View More»
