Abstract	Basic Human Anatomy at Indiana University is a large undergraduate anatomy class with nearly five hundred students in twelve lab sections. In the fall of 2018, we added the Virtual Human Dissector software on an interactive Sectra table to our lab to help students fill the gap between idealized anatomical models and fully prosected cadavers. We evaluated this new technology using a cross-over study design with pre- and post-module quizzes, exam questions related to the modules, and a survey of student perceptions. Results indicate that while not all students enjoyed using the new technology, even those who did not report enjoying it could still identify gaps that the technology helped to fill. Quiz results showed greater increases in knowledge for those who completed the modules, particularly during the second semester. However, exam results did not demonstrate a longer-term difference in knowledge between those who completed a specific module and those who did not. (As Provided).
