Abstract: In this third and final manuscript from the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) 2022 Lab Survey we document the efforts of Human Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) educators in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Institutional, instructional, and student demographics, and laboratory activities and learning outcomes were the focus of the first and second manuscripts, respectively, in this series. Sixteen new questions for the third part of the survey asked about changes in instructional resources and funding, safety procedures, and effects on course policies for the partial academic year of March through May 2020 and the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 academic years. Institutional mandate or instructor choice rather than government mandate determined course format (in-person, online, or hybrid) across the three time periods. Instructor-created videos, face masks, and temporarily shifting the class online were the most common resource, safety procedure, and response to disruptions, respectively. Online lab practicals were frequently used for assessment during the pandemic, with a lockdown internet browser or honor system the most frequently used methods for proctoring. Perceived course rigor and learning outcomes assessed did not differ appreciably during the time periods in question, while the variety of testing and assessment methods increased. Although respondents indicated an expected increase in variety of course format once the pandemic was over, this expectation is not statistically significant. While there were many positive effects of the pandemic, including increased compassion for the stressors affecting students, respondents did not indicate feeling more invigorated in their teaching.
