| description | <p>Technology has transformed health science education delivery over the past decade. Students in all health science disciplines must learn and master anatomy to be successful in their education and career. Several virtual resources are available to learn anatomy. The University of Texas Medical Branch introduced Anatomage Table to its entry-level occupational therapy doctoral (OTD) students in 2021 to supplement anatomy learning. As students’ usage of educational technology depends on perceived usefulness, user-friendliness, and positive user experience, this study explored the experiences and perceptions of the students regarding the use of Anatomage Tables to learn anatomy. Students in the class of OTD 2024 were asked to complete an anonymous survey. Thirty valid responses were received. Around 80% of the respondents perceived the Anatomage Table as a useful resource and reported a positive experience using the table. Nearly half of the respondents perceived the table as user-friendly. Respondents stated that the table helped them review learned materials, visualize anatomical structures, self-assess their anatomy knowledge, and avoid the hassle associated with cadaver lab requirements and restrictions. Results suggest that Anatomage Table may be a useful supplemental resource to teach anatomy for entry-level OTD students. However, students may need adequate training and orientation at the beginning of the semester to successfully utilize the resource.</p>
