Graduate Human Anatomy

Catalog description

The Graduate Human Anatomy course teaches students the structural aspects of the human body and their clinical correlates. Students explore the macroscopic anatomy and three‐ dimensional relationships of organs, organ‐systems, regions of the body, cross‐sections, and spaces. Learning experiences are reinforced with cadaveric dissection and a variety of clinical imaging techniques, including plain films (X‐rays), CT and MRI scans. Aside from medical knowledge, the course nurtures teamwork, interpersonal and communication skills, and professionalism. The course continues the anatomy component of the Phase 1 MCWfusion curriculum, specifically the Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Renal, and Endocrine/Reproductive Blocks. The course comprises webcast lectures and body donor dissections and is graded on letter scale.
