AB Education of human anatomy has a long history and as one of the core subjects in medicine and biomedicine it was taught using mostly traditional teaching methods. However, advances in information and communication technologies brought various modernizing approaches to present individual topics in more illustrative and attractive ways even in presence and distance teaching forms. Due to these facts, there are extensive discussions about suitable methods of delivering anatomical knowledge between professionals all around the world. It is because a deep understanding of anatomy is essential for later safe clinical practice. The lack of cadavers, teaching hours in curricula, resources but also increasing number of students forced us to change present teaching methods to more sophisticated alternatives utilizing combination of dissections and available imaging and multimedia resources. Therefore, the methodology to support teaching of anatomy and the system to share our multimedia education outputs of human anatomy across faculties were developed and integrated into curricula.
