The course will demonstrate and enforce the interface between clinical and foundational science, and reinforce skills of literature review and mechanistic thinking about clinical problems. Specifically, students will review the anatomy of the head and neck through online materials, lectures, and dissection. Students will learn of common clinical correlates, imaging studies, and surgical procedures through lectures by clinical faculty.

Goals and Objectives

The overall goal of this course is to provide a thorough review of human head and neck anatomy from a clinical perspective. Topics covered during the elective will include anterior and posterior triangles of the neck, the larynx and pharynx, the face, the infratemporal fossa, the oral cavity and submandibular triangle, the eye and orbit, the ear, the cranial base, the blood supply and venous drainage of the brain, the cranial nerves, the meninges, and major gross brain structures. The objective is to enable students to recognize the anatomical background of common clinical problems and surgical procedures.
