Virtual Dissection Database (VDD)

Inspired in part by the COVID-19 pandemic and funded by AAA in July 2020, the Virtual Dissection Database (VDD) launched in February 2021 as a digital library of dissection videos and cadaveric images, as well as surface anatomy and clinical resources, to assist in teaching the anatomical sciences.

Contributions

As a new resource, the VDD is also growing! If you have anatomical content you would like to share, please contact Matt Vilburn or Samantha Simet of the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The platform allows content authors to retain copyright, while providing a secure environment that maintains the integrity and anonymity of body donors, allows faculty to stream dissection videos, and provides a database of downloadable images.
