Department of Anatomy

The mission of the Department of Anatomy is to advance our knowledge of clinical, systems, and cellular neuroscience, focusing on the structure, organization, and function of cerebral systems, and to produce the next generation of educators for medical and graduate schools for the 21st century.

The education and training of the next generation of neuroscientists is one of the primary missions of the Department of Anatomy. The Anatomy program is geared toward students seeking a comprehensive education in the anatomical sciences, primarily those wishing to pursue a career in healthcare or education.

Key Features:

• Rigorous core curriculum integrating structure, function, and nomenclature
• Emphasis on cell and developmental biology, biochemistry, and physiology
• State-of-the-art laboratory research opportunities
• Graduate education with didactic coursework and seminar discussions

The Department of Anatomy provides in-depth knowledge of the human body's structure. Students explore cadaver dissection, histology, and embryology to build a strong foundation in medical sciences. The department is equipped with advanced dissection halls and histology labs.

• Cadaver-based learning and demonstration
• Histology and embryology labs with digital microscopes
• Models and museum for anatomical structures
