ANAT-501: Medical Gross Anatomy

Medical Gross Anatomy is the study of the body's structure. The course is organized by the four major body regions: upper limb; back and lower limb; thorax, abdomen and pelvis; and head and neck.

Computer-aided instruction will be used to help students learning anatomy. The student is expected to learn anatomical terminology, three- dimensional, radiological, and live (palpatory) anatomy.

Throughout the course students will be challenged to relate the anatomy to solving clinical problems. The latter is an integral part of the anatomy curriculum. Students will be evaluated by a series of four written examinations. Course available to Master of Science degree-seeking students only.
