Abstract

In the study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of distance education on medical education during and after the covid-19 period from the perspective of students. 'Can distance education still be used in medical anatomy training after the pandemic has passed?' or 'can feedback from remote anatomy training bring adaptations to the hybrid anatomy training model? Clarification of the questions can also increase the objectives of this study. In the study, questions about distance education in the covid-19 period were asked to the first and second year students of the Faculty of Medicine of Kafkas University and were evaluated in the 5-point likert test. In addition, the answers given by the first and second year students were compared with the chi-square test. Chi-square test results were significant in the comparison of first and second grades in the first (P=0.029), second (P=0,003) and thirteenth (P=0.16) questions. The answers given by medical students are very important for the future of medical education. The distance education model during and after Covid-19 actually offered an application area for the future of medical education. Important opinions were also received regarding hybrid education.
