Anatomy

An introduction to the human gross anatomy. It will seek to give students enough background in anatomical knowledge and vocabulary to help them in their initial training in medical school; however, it will not be a substitute for anatomy courses in medical school. It will focus on normal adult anatomy, and it will cover each of the main regions of the body - i.e., thorax, abdomen and pelvis, back and limbs, and head and neck. Lectures will cover descriptive and functional anatomy, ultimately leaving students with a better understanding of anatomical terminology and 3D relationships of structures within the human body, and better problem-solving skills as they begin to relate symptoms to causes, again at the gross anatomical level.

Most students agreed that the highlights of this course included the engaging lectures, the high quality of the instructor, and the availability of the instructor and TA for assistance. The amount of information presented and memorization required were far and away the worst aspects of the course. Recorded lectures, more 3-D models, and more frequent meeting times would improve the course. Prospective students should know that this course requires a hefty time commitment, good study skil s, and dedication.
