Anatomical Sciences II

Catalog description

This is an integrated course combining the four traditional medical school anatomical disciplines: gross anatomy, histology, embryology, and neuroscience. The curriculum is organized into six modules over three quarters, with multiple exams per module. The modules cover broad anatomical themes. Winter quarter begins with limb outgrowth, which includes lower extremity and upper extremity dissections, and finishes with pharyngeal arches and cranial nerves, which includes head and neck dissections. Curriculum delivery is through lectures, laboratory-based dissection workshops, ultrasound workshops, small group activities, and online resources. Student progress is evaluated through written and practical examinations.
