Grant’s Dissector -3rd SAE 2026

The art of dissection is an age-old method of learning Human Anatomy, where the cadaver provides a true sense of handling a patient’s body. This approach helps students understand Anatomy precisely and forms the basis for clinical correlation in later years. Grant’s Dissector is a classic manual that offers step-by-step human cadaver dissection procedures, enabling students to perform effectively in the anatomy lab and recognize important anatomical relationships. The third South Asian Edition of Grant’s Dissector aims to meet the needs of medical students for learning Anatomy through dissection and preparing for assessments under the competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum.About the AuthorGunapriya Raghunath, MBBS, MS, DNB, MBA, FAGE is the Vice-Principal, Professor and Head, Department of Anatomy, Coordinator, Medical Education Unit at Rajalakshmi Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
