  Anatomy:

The Human Anatomy course presents the gross structure and function of the human body as it relates to the practice of medicine.  By using surface, radiological and cadaver anatomy, students acquire a three-dimensional understanding of structural relationships in the living body.  Working in groups of four, students dissect the major structures of the body.  Prosections and demonstration specimens are provided for amplification and clarification of adult anatomy.  Laboratory work is further supplemented by sessions in which radiological techniques are used to illustrate parts of the bony skeleton and the thoracic and abdominopelvic viscera.  Videos illustrating the anatomy of selected regions of the body are available for on-demand viewing.  Lectures stress important aspects of anatomy, especially as they relate to medical practice.
