Course title: Human Anatomy and Embryology

DC course designation:
ANAT 111 (term 1); ANAT 112 (term 2)

Course description:

The aim of this course is to help students acquire the basic anatomical background they will need to function as physicians, and to acquire facility with the anatomical terms used in discussions among medical professionals. During this dissection-based course, students will study all parts of the human body and their normal function, with occasional reference to common abnormalities of function. Regional, surface, systemic, radiologic, and endoscopic anatomy, as well as human embryology, will be considered. Lectures, laboratory dissection sessions, self-study, and group learning are all important components of this course.
