Yes and no, for example, they have no blood circulation anymore, thus one of the potentially fatal risks of any surgery - bleeding - can't be "trained" there.

It can, they can plumb things up with pumps to simulate whatever.

This same limitation applies to simulators though, so this application isn't an answer to the parent comments question.

I would think pumping blood through a cadaver is a quick way to get a visit from a handful of agencies.

There are lots of hoops to jump through to get to use cadavers for one's work, but the act of pumping blood itself isn't particularly of concern to any agencies.
