Abstract
Introduction: At the end of 2019 the Covid-19 pandemic caused a huge amount of restrictions across the world which affected teaching around the world as it was not prepared to move from traditional face-to-face to an online conversion overnight, so the aim of this paper is to determine the changes in undergraduate anatomy teaching strategies post-pandemic compared to pre-pandemic. Methods: A systematic review was conducted based on the PRISMA statement. Data were retrieved from the searches conducted in the different databases, and the articles to be retrieved were selected with the help of the Rayyan platform. Using the OPMER and JBI tools, the quality of evidence was assessed for the selection of the articles included in the review. Results: The teaching of medicine, specifically anatomy, presented serious problems due to the fact that throughout history it has been taught in the classroom by means of cadaveric dissection and when this ceased to be available, new methods arose through the use of digital resources to try to make up for the needs of the lack of dissection laboratories which lost a great deal of content in this restructuring, which have been improving with the passing of the courses taught and the development of new material that has been better adapted to the needs of the students. Discussion: The authors agree that in the future the best way to teach anatomy will continue to be face-to-face dissection without neglecting the strategies developed during this pandemic and to be taken if necessary to restructure curricula in the future to improve teaching.

Dear editor. The new version includes changes based on readers' feedback. The changes include: We add a new author (Quintos-Sánchez Jimena), whose contribution was significant for the new version, since he did the edition of the manuscript, grammar check and edition of the same, as well as the writing of the new sections. Included is the section "Methodologic analysis of the studies" where observations on the global methodology of the recovered studies are described including those that were not included. In addition, the same section describes the methodological characteristics that are considered strengths for the included studies. We included supplementary material consisting of tables of study characteristics included limiting us to those that we considered had the highest methodological quality (four studies).
