I did biology at shcool. My parents had to buy me a dissection kit - scalpels, forceps, lancets and so on. The curriculum was quite heavy on dissections. We had to dissect frogs, dogfish and rats. We once also had to do an experiment on a live (pithed) frog. We were marked on the drawings we had to make of our dissections. These labs were double classes - a bit more than two hours.

I have no idea how worthwhile that kind of instruction was; knowledge of anatomy hasn't featured in my career. I suspect it would have been very helpful if you decided to become a physician.
