Alan Liu, Ph.D., a research scientist for virtual reality at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda, Md. Nancy Harrison, a practicing pathologist in California asserts that cutting up preserved frogs bears little relation to cutting human flesh and is therefore of no educational value for aspiring doctors.Įven medical schools are embracing virtual training. Interestingly, many doctors are also opposed to dissection in schools. Proponents of traditional dissection often lose sight of the reason for dissecting in the first place-to learn anatomy and physiology, not to learn dissection skills. While that may be true for a small number of students, mounting evidence suggests that virtual dissection programs such as The Digital Frog are just as good, if not a better way to learn anatomy and physiology than tradtional dissections. Many biology teachers believe that dissection is still the best way to learn biology.
