Technology stands out as a means of advancement in the fields of health and education. During health
education, human anatomy lessons are traditionally carried out with theoretical methods, model
applications and cadaver examinations. In addition, technological methodologies support teaching
methods by making them interactive. During the Covid-19 pandemic period, technological methods
were frequently used in the application of distance education. Therefore, the aim of our study is to
examine the approaches to the use of technological methods in teaching human anatomy. For this
study, a literature search covering randomized controlled trials published between January 2020 and
December 2022 was conducted using the keywords "anatomy" and "medical education" in the
PubMed electronic database. Inclusion criterias; Studies written in English are studies in the field of
health education and studies evaluating the use of technological methods in teaching human anatomy.
Exclusion criterias; Studies written in a language other than English are studies involving a particular
surgical technique and animal studies. A total of 1456 studies were accessed, and 7 studies were
included in this review according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. As a result, methods such as
virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), web-based education, holographic
modeling and three-dimensional printed modalities (3DP) provide benefits in students' anatomical
learning processes.
