BMS 8187: Advanced Human Anatomy

Orhan Arslan

This course entails supervised regional dissection, discussion of the clinical relevance of the identified structures, participation in gross anatomy laboratory sessions and independent case-based presentations. 

Objectives

This course is designed to provide senior students with the opportunity to perform an in-depth study of anatomy in relation to surgical fields and other clinically relevant disciplines such as radiology and emergency medicine. It enables students to master the delicate relationships of anatomical structures through supervised step-by-step dissections. It is expected, that prospective students will be able to correlate structural organization of human body to the interpretation of disease processes. Students will be able to participate in teaching anatomy to junior medical students in an interactive laboratory environment.

Evaluation

Evaluation is based on completion of the assigned dissection and active participation in anatomy laboratory teaching. Minimum of 5 PowerPoint presentations detailing a series of clinical vignettes with complete history, laboratory values, differential diagnosis and discussions are required. These vignettes must emphasize the importance of structural relationships of the affected organs and the anatomic basis of the conditions discussed.

Students should contact Dr. Arslan to receive permission in advance and to insure proper coordination.
