Summer Program
The Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Anatomy offers a summer intensive course focusing on human gross anatomy. 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. Notably, the course mirrors the curriculum delivered to our professional students and offers transferable credits to other academic institutions and programs.
Prospective students are asked to complete the Registration Packet. Signed consent from the administrator of the student's home institution must be obtained to enroll in the course. The application deadline is listed on the registration packet.
This course is offered to students who have previously taken an anatomy course in an MD, DO, PA, PT, or Graduate program.

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.
