This course will also proved students with instruction and experience in teaching techniques in clinical anatomy.

Goals and Objectives

  • Complete review of gross human anatomy. This will be accomplished through complete dissection of a cadaveric specimen in the gross anatomy laboratory.
  • Review of survace atatomy iwth emphasis on application of clinical anatomy to clinical exam methods and techniques. The students will reveiw the practical correlates between gross anatomy and clincial exam methods. This will include developing fundamental examples of clinical application of gross anatomical principles for use in medical education.
  • Investigation of case study literatur to identify and summarize clinical application of basic anatomical principles. The students will search the medical literature to identify original published cases that demonstrate the importance of basic anatomical principles in the diagnosis and treatment of injury and disease.
