“…Incidentally, implementation of online synchronous and online asynchronous education program required altered education strategies that started evolving rapidly amidst the ongoing situation. This eventually led to the emergence of a new look anatomy education model that augured well with the “new normal” emerging in the education sector (Bay & Pawlina, 2021 ; Jones, 2021 ; Attardi et al, 2022 ; Lachman & Pawlina, 2022 ). Across geographical regions there exist remarkable variations in the factors that determine educational strategies such as accessible resources (primarily economic which reflects on use of digital tools pertaining to education), profile of stakeholders in terms of applying technology (familiarity with using online tools among the academic staff and the students), and the curricular structure (course contents, classroom hours, distribution of theory and practical classes, and student–teacher ratio) (Henderson et al, 2016 ; Ohr et al, 2021 ).…”

The Covid‐19 pandemic stipulated adoption of unfamiliar strategies for delivering anatomy education in online mode. The factors which determine education strategies are variable across geographical regions. It was perceived that an overview of education strategies around the globe would be useful for anatomists. Hence this narrative review was undertaken to collate observations from different geographical regions pertaining to education strategies adopted during the pandemic. Data relevant to the topic of study were extracted from 12 articles that were selected from an initial pool of 317 articles based on search criteria set for the review. Subtle differences in core education strategies implied that baseline response from anatomists was similar across regions. It was evident that online digital tools were key elements of education strategies adopted by educators for delivering online anatomy classes across the globe. Interestingly, a considerable gap in terms of number and variety of online tools used for anatomy education (those requiring commercial purchase) was noted between economically developed and developing regions. This may have an impact on learning outcome for students and may even lead to variations in anatomical knowledge by regions. It was observed that offline human dissection sessions were incorporated into online practical classes in one region as positive cases showed a declining trend. This positive development is worth emulating elsewhere based on cautious assessment of prevailing situation. From a broad perspective timely introduction of education strategies ensured delivery of anatomy education during the pandemic and gave an evolved outlook to the fabric of anatomy education.
