Postgraduate Head
and Neck Anatomy |
This course is taught to medical and dental specialty residents. It meets two evenings per weeks with a full head and neck dissection lab.
Teaching Faculty in 2006

This course also employs 1-2 teaching assistants selected from upper division medical or dental students. |
ANAT 7600
Advanced Topics in Anatomy |
This course for medical students is an independent study review course of regional anatomy with full dissection. This course is also taken by all teaching assistants for a minimum of 2 weeks. During this time, teaching techniques and issues surrounding being a TA are taught.
|
ANAT 7601 and 7602
Advanced Clinical Gross Anatomy |
This course was a new course in 2002. It is offered over two blocks (S3B and 3). In this course, the students review the gross anatomy of the entire human body. Students also perform regional dissections, under the guidance of anatomy faculty, with emphasis on clinical applications of gross anatomical structure and function. This course provides students with instruction and experience in teaching techniques in clinical anatomy. This is the course students take when they TA ANAT 6150 for credit.
Specific Course Objectives:
1. Complete review of gross human anatomy. This will be accomplished through complete dissection of a cadaveric specimen in the gross anatomy laboratory.
2. Review of surface anatomy with emphasis on application of clinical anatomy to clinical exam methods and techniques. The students will review the practical correlates between gross anatomy and clinical exam methods. This will include developing fundamental examples of clinical application of gross anatomical principles for use in medical education.
3. Investigation of case study literature 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.
4. Instruction and practicum in teaching techniques for academic clinicians. Students will be instructed in techniques of didactic teaching to large groups and interactive teaching to small groups. Practical teaching experience may include both large group prelab lectures and laboratory instruction in gross anatomy to medical students.
Class size is limited to 14 students.
