Abstract (English):	Introduction: in the last decades, various strategies for teaching anatomy have emerged that pose the dilemma about the usefulness of the corpse in undergraduate courses. However, the use of corpses provides multiple dimensions in the teaching-learning process: better 3D understanding, texture of the organs, ethical and moral aspects, etc. The authors conducted a survey of medical school students about their opinion about the use of cadavers in undergraduate courses. Material and method: in September 2020 the survey with closed and open questions was delivered to 35 second-year medical school students. The questions addressed various topics of the teaching-learning process, but especially the use of teaching tools. Results: the sample consisted of 23 women and 12 men between 19 and 29 years old (average 21). Regarding the teaching tools that they considered useful, 97.1% of the students answered that the corpses were useful, while 62.9% considered imaging studies and videos useful. Half thought that corpses were essential for learning anatomy, while 26.5% considered them very useful and 23.5%, useful. Only 2.9% of the students felt rejection reactions to the corpse. Conclusions: the cadaveric material is considered by the students as a very useful tool in the teaching-learning of anatomy in undergraduate studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	Introducción: En las últimas decadas han surgido diversas estrategias de enseñanza de la anatomía que nos plantean la disyuntiva sobre la utilidad del cadáver en los cursos de pregrado. Sin embargo, el uso de cadáveres aporta multiples dimensiones en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje: mejor comprensión 3d, textura de los órganos, aspectos éticos y morales, etc. Los autores realizaron una encuesta a estudiantes de facultad de medicina sobre su opinión a cerca del uso de cadáveres en cursos de pregrados. Material y método: En setiembre de 2020 se entregó la encuesta con preguntas cerradas y abiertas a 35 estudiantes de segundo año de facultad de medicina. Las preguntas abordaron diversos tópicos del proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje, pero especialmente, el uso de herramientas docentes. Resultados: La muestra se compuso de 23 mujeres y 12 varones de entre 19 y 29 años (promedio 21). Sobre las herramientas docentes que consideraron de utilidad, 97.1% de los estudiantes contestó que los cadáveres lo eran, en tanto 62,9% consideraron de utilidad los estudios imagenológicos y los videos. La mitad opinó que los cadáveres eran imprescindibles para al aprendizaje de la anatomía, en tanto 26.5% los consideraron muy útiles y 23.5%, útiles. Solo el 2.9% de los estudiantes sintió reacciones de rechazo al cadáver. Conclusiones: El material cadvérico es considerado por los estudiantes como una herramienta muy útil en la enseñanza-aprendizaje de la anatomía en el pregrado. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
