The use of cadaveric material to study anato-my has been curbed by the requirements for its maintenance and use and by the anatomical con-tents in medical curricula, negatively affecting students. This study aimed to demonstrate the reported benefits of using cadaveric material in teaching anatomy. The benefits were categorized into 3 groups: audiovisual resources, teaching, and institutional cooperation and research. 1) Au-diovisual resources: 2234 photographs, 256 vid-eos, 16 websites, 28 anatomical replicas using 3D printing, the Laminario Anatomico, and a gym-khana online simulator. Students were surveyed about their perception and use of these resources. Their responses indicate they are considered use-ful tools for teaching and learning. 2) Teaching: all the practical activities with cadaveric materi- al are comprehensively undertaken in different formats every year. 15 undergraduate programs have prosection activities, 9 graduate degree programs and 4 post-graduate qualification pro- grams have prosection and dissection activities, and 22 graduate degree programs have cadaveric surgical training. 3) Institutional cooperation and research: 2 doctoral theses, 1 master's thesis, and 37 publications. The use of cadaveric material is a contribution that strengthens all aspects of aca-demia in the development of both instructors and institutions.
