Anatomy

This course covers broad anatomical themes. Students will develop three-dimensional anatomical knowledge that is required for allied health training. Case studies will be used to foster familiarity with typical clinical presentations, and how to approach diagnoses from a basic anatomical perspective. Curriculum delivery is through lectures, laboratory-based prosection workshops, small group activities, and online resources. Student progress is evaluated through written and practical examinations.

For students entering prior to 2023 only: This course provides a lecture and lab-based survey of human anatomy. Students will develop three-dimensional anatomical knowledge that is required for biomedical and allied health training. Case studies will be used to foster familiarity with typical clinical presentations, and to learn how to approach diagnoses from a basic anatomical perspective. Lab sessions include the study of human cadaveric prosections, and a regional dissection of a portion of the human body. Student progress is evaluated through written and practical examinations.

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. Fall quarter begins with the segmented body plan, which includes back dissections and finishes with tubes within tubes, which includes thorax, abdomen and pelvis 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.

The Veterinary Anatomy courses focus on mammalian developmental, microscopic anatomy, and gross anatomy. Lecture and laboratory material will concentrate on canine anatomy, with comparisons to feline, equine, and ruminant species. Included in the dissection of each region are the musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous and lymphatic components, and clinically relevant surface anatomy. Embryology lectures cover the general patterns and principles of normal mammalian development and specific aspects of selected systems and species. Microanatomy lectures present basic cytology, tissue types, and specific organ systems.
