Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Anatomy Content Delivery during COVID-19: Comparing Student Perceptions and Impact on Student Performance

While both asynchronous (ASYNCH) and synchronous (SYNCH) approaches have been used for online medical anatomy teaching during the COVID‐19 pandemic, it is unclear how ASYNCH vs. SYNCH approaches are differentially perceived by medical students, or whether these methods have any differential impact on anatomy learning. The purpose of this study was to compare first year (M1) and second year (M2) medical student perceptions and exam performance between ASYNCH and SYNCH‐delivered anatomy content.
