The course of anatomy was trunk (thorax, abdomen and pelvis) and the study sample included 30 medical students of Yasuj University of Medical Sciences class of 1377 who were divided in control, films and CD groups,each group included 10 students. Theoretical classes, dissection and models were presented to each group. After that video films related to the same part of the body was shown to one group (film group) while computer CDs were shown to the CD group. The practical and theoretical scores of students were statistically analyzed. Results showed that the mean of practical exam score of the CD group was higher than the film and control groups in all subjects (thorax, abdomen and pelvis).It was also shown that theoretical and practical exam scores in the CD group for thorax were higher than the other two groups.
