Dr. Orhan Arslan

This course entails collaborative study to explore innovative ideas which are applicable to basic and clinical sciences.

Objectives

This elective enables prospective students to develop a collaborative independent plan of study based on the anatomical sciences. Students are expected to explore research topics in order to discover or expand on the possible anatomic basis for disease processes that have not yet been fully explored.

Evaluation

The nature of this elective necessitates that variable methods of evaluation will be used to periodically assess the viability and applicability of the results obtained from the investigated areas of study. Students should be prepared to present their findings in the form of a PowerPoint presentation.

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