This course is focused on the gross human anatomy presented in a regional approach. These six major body regions consist of the lower limb and back, upper limb, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and head and neck. Lectures, tutorials, and computer-aided instruction will be provided throughout the course. Students will work with prosections in the anatomy laboratory. Each student is expected to learn anatomical terminology and three-dimensional and radiological anatomy. Throughout the course, students will be challenged to relate anatomy to the solution of clinical problems, which is an integral part of the anatomy curriculum. Students will be evaluated by a series of written and laboratory practical examinations.
