SUMMARY:Health Updates Webinar #288 (To dissect or not to dissect? Are cadavers needed to train doctors?)
DESCRIPTION:The University of the Philippines\,\nin partnership with the UP Manila – National Institutes of Health\,\nand in cooperation with UP Philippine General Hospital and UP College of Medicine\,\nwould like to invite you to attend this webinar! \n  \nRegistration slots are limited to this HEALTH UPDATES webinar\nSo sign up NOW:\nbit.ly/HealthUpdatesWebinar288 \n  \nWebinar #288\nJune 19\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\n“To Dissect or Not to Dissect?”\nAre Cadavers Needed to Train Doctors?\n\nPresenter:\nDr. Rafael C. Bundoc\nOrthopedic Surgeon and Past Chairman\, Department of Anatomy\nUP College of Medicine\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #288\nJune 19\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\n“To Dissect or Not to Dissect?”\nAre Cadavers Needed to Train Doctors?\n\nWe all recognize that foundational medical training directly impacts public health outcomes. In an era defined by rapid technological disruption and the integration of sophisticated digital visualization tools in healthcare education\, a fundamental pedagogical question resurfaces within the Philippine medical community: Does human cadaveric dissection remain the irreplaceable gold standard for mastering gross anatomy?\n\nIn this week’s episode\, we will bridge the gap between traditional academic pedagogy and the high-stakes\, real-world demands of the operating theater. The discourse will critically evaluate the architectural complexities of the human body through a dual lens\, contrasting the profound haptic feedback and three-dimensional spatial orientation gained via traditional dissection with the scalability and interactive precision offered by contemporary virtual reality\, 3D printing\, and digital anatomical modalities.\n\nFor multidisciplinary healthcare professionals\, maintaining a comprehensive grasp of these educational methodologies is vital because the anatomical proficiency established during formative medical schooling dictates the safety and efficacy of subsequent surgical interventions\, diagnostic interpretations\, and invasive clinical procedures. In addition\, we will contextualize these paradigm shifts within the specific socio-economic and resource realities of the Philippine healthcare landscape.\n\nOur speaker is Dr. Rafael C. Bundoc\, who is a renowned orthopedic surgeon and has served as the Past Chairman of the Department of Anatomy\, UP College of Medicine. Join us in this pivotal conversation to explore how the evolutionary trajectory of anatomical education ultimately shapes the quality of patient care and the enduring ethos of medical practice in the Philippines.
