Aim: In this study, we aimed to find out the positive and negative effects of the pregraduation anatomy education received by academic staff working in the Faculty of Dentistry on their professions both as an educator and as a dentist.
Material and Methods: The study was conducted through a questionnaire given to 19 academic staff at Uşak University Faculty of Dentistry. A 5-Likert type scale was used for the reliability of feedback.
