IF YOU WANT TO DO MEDICINE: (1 Viewer)

They still do it at USYD and elsewhere, if you could have done a simple google search. I don't know where you are getting this info from. http://sydney.edu.au/medicine/anatomy/current-student/whole-body-dissection/

lol read the title brah. 'ANATOMY BY WHOLE BODY DISSECTION COURSE (AWBD)' It's a dissection course. I was talking about within medicine.

You sure they still do it as part of their med degree? Pretty sure it's got its own course nowadays and all universities only use prosections for the purposes of medical teaching

Ah probably not. They do offer it though - although it doesn't look compulsory by any means.

I took square into my anatomy labs he didn't last very long lmao

Tbf I feel like they shouldn't really have the diseased cadavers laying around anat labs, it's unhygienic af

If it's a tumour or something it's okay but like liver cirrhosis is that really necessary when we are trying to look at normal specimens

It's been more of a transitional process as universities changed from dissections to prosecutions mostly due to cost I think and maybe lack of donated bodies..

Lol how is it 'unhygienic af'.. Universities can't force people to donate their bodies so they're left with what they have got left and I'm pretty sure all bodies undergo testing for certain viral and bacterial illnesses before they are used

You can't "catch" liver cirrhosis by contact. You also won't catch diseases from cadavers unless you did something really stupid.

I will point out that wet labs are a thing but you will NOT be dissecting humans at an Australian medical school. You will use pre prosected specimens.
