Anatomical Sciences III

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. Spring quarter begins with the sensorimotor head, which includes head and neck dissections, and finishes with brain and behavior. Curriculum delivery is through lectures, laboratory-based dissection workshops, ultrasound workshops, small group activities, and on-line resources. Student progress is evaluated through written and practical examinations.
