ABSTRACT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Introduction: <\/strong>A cadaver is the \ufb01rst \u201cbody\u201d upon which students lay their hands. The student-cadaver relationship stabilised on humanities can serve as a simulation for future doctor-patient relationship. This calls for the \u201chumanities\u201d in medicine to be incorporated into the anatomy curriculum<\/p>\n

Methodology:<\/strong> It included 150 students of the first year of medical college. An interpretative phenomenological analysis of students\u2019 reflections upon first exposure to cadaver and during the gratitude ceremony was done.<\/p>\n

Results: <\/strong>The responses were classified under four themes (cognitive, moral, behavioural and affective) according to the Triune brain model. Responses during gratitude ceremony are generated as such.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: <\/strong>Our initiative provides adequate scope for reflective writing, fulfils most criteria for a hidden curriculum and acts as foundation step for bioethics. Rather than reducing into a narrower set of generalizable constructs as in qualitative studies, students\u2019 holistic experiences when presented as such would convey the intended plurality.<\/p>\n

Key words: <\/strong>Cadaver Disrobing, Phenomenological Study, Hidden Curriculum, Bioethics.<\/p>\n
