Figure 4: Feedback from students in third and fourth semesters (Sem.) regarding the statement “The design of the alternative course is compatible with a pregnancy (e.g. no long periods of standing).” In the third semester, of the 28 responses, a total of 27 participants strongly agreed with the statement and 1 participant agreed. In the forth semester, of the 35 responses to this statement 34 participants strongly agreed and 1 participant agreed. The median for both semesters is “strongly agree”. The students positively viewed the possibility to sit down during the course and put their feet up if necessary. They also liked not having to work in a bent or hunched over position for long periods as it is necessary when dissecting a cadaver. The data was collected from summer semester 2017 to winter semester 2018.
