Abstract

Medical colleges in Central India often face shortages of cadavers for anatomical education, hindering the development of future doctors' practical skills. Whole body donation programs offer a potential solution, but their impact in this region remains unexplored. Objective: This study investigates the influence of whole body donation programs on medical colleges in Central India. Methods: A mixed-methods approach will be employed. Quantitative data will be collected through surveys of medical educators and students of Ram Krishna Medical College Hosptal and Research Centre, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh to assess the perceived impact of whole body donation on practical skill development, curriculum effectiveness, and student confidence. Qualitative data will be gathered through interviews with key stakeholders involved in donation programs to understand challenges and opportunities.
