description Objective: Today, the websites of the departments in universities serve as a showcase for potential students. Studies examining the web pages of universities, faculties and departments have increased especially in recent years. In our study, the contents of the websites of anatomy departments (AAD) in medical faculties in Turkey were examined. We aimed to create a guide for AAD and other departments in medical faculties who want to prepare a website or reorganize their existing websites. Methods: The websites of 90 anatomy departments were included. Results: While three of the four sites had a website belonging to the AAD one was only a website of either the basic medical sciences or the academic staff of the medical faculty. About half of the websites had a general introduction and 11 websites (12%) had information on body donation, the readabilities of which were of medium difficulty. Four out of 10 sites had links to the pages related to the list of faculty members and their academic information. Approximately one in three websites had various tabs. 67.7% of websites had links to the pages with academic information of faculty members. There was no photo of the lecturer in one out of three websites. Conclusion: Faculty members' e-mail addresses were available on most websites. Texts on body donation should be designed with an easier readability. As a result, we hope that our study will give an idea for AAD that do not have a website yet or want to improve their website.
