This course will introduce Functional Anatomy and Evolution graduate students to human anatomy from a functional, clinical, and developmental perspective. The course runs in parallel with an anatomy course for 1st year medical students and follows a regional approach broken into three parts: 1) thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and perineum; 2) limbs and back; and 3) head and neck. Within each course section, information is presented via several activities: virtual lectures focusing on human anatomy and embryology, interactive review sessions, laboratory dissection, and student-led cooperative presentations on anatomical structures. During the eight weeks of the course, students will dissect all regions of the body. Overall Course Objectives 1. Demonstrate understanding of normal anatomy of the main regions of the human body: thorax, abdomen, and pelvis; back and limbs; and head and neck. 2. Demonstrate effective use of anatomical terminology. 3. Develop dissection skills. 4. Demonstrate good knowledge of 3D relationships of structures within the human body. 5. Demonstrate an ability to present written and oral information clearly. 6. Demonstrate effective collaborative skills and professionalism.
