Registration Packet
The organization of the human body and the way in which anatomical relationships serve as a basis for function are studied in this course. The medical aspects of the structural and functional organization of the human body are also a focus of attention. The course will consist of daily team-based learning exercises and virtual laboratory sessions. Students are expected to do the assigned pre-reading and come to the TBL sessions prepared to discuss clinical cases and take the daily quizzes. The major learning experience occurs in the virtual laboratory sessions where teaching consists of small group discussions related to anatomical questions of the day, concepts of the day, and identification of structures on clinical images.
Examinations over the learning objectives for this course will be given as multiple-choice questions in the format of the USMLE. The examinations over the practical components of the course consist of the identification of structure, radiographic anatomy, osteology, and functional implications of material covered in the virtual laboratory sessions.
*Offered to students who have previously taken an anatomy course in an MD, DO, PA, PT, or Graduate program.
