Abstract
Preservation techniques are an essential part of anatomy to preserve specimens. Various types of methods are used worldwide along decades. Among them plastination is a popular method that is very effective to overcome the drawbacks of embalming procedures. Although some research shows some advantages of plastinated specimens, nevertheless embalmed specimens are commonly used in Bangladesh as teaching-learning and assessment tools. In this cross-sectional analytical study some plastinated specimens were made and taught to the students along with the embalmed specimens at Bangladesh Medical University (BMU), Bangladesh, from March 2021 to February 2022. After teaching, the OSPE based on comparative between plastinated and embalmed specimens were distributed to the 1st phase MBBS students. Their feedback were collected, then compared and statistically analyzed. This part of the research was cross-sectional analytical in nature.
