Course Description:
This class reviews human gross anatomy from a clinical and cross sectional standpoint. Study includes cross sectional anatomy and clinical cases that best illustrate relevant anatomical relationships necessary for a physician to provide a coherent clinical diagnosis. The class also emphasizes functional correlates of anatomy that are not addressed in the Human Dissection Course (BMS575). The course provides students an opportunity to gain critical writing and oral presentation skills.
Course Objectives:
The objective of this class is to review human gross anatomy from a clinical and cross sectional standpoint. Study will include cross sectional anatomy and clinical cases that best illustrate relevant anatomical relationships necessary for a physician to provide a coherent clinical diagnosis. The class will also emphasize functional correlates of anatomy that are not addressed in BMS 575. The course will also provide students an opportunity to gain critical writing and oral presentation skills.
Format:
The course will be divided into four regions of study: lower limb; thorax, abdomen and pelvis; head and neck and upper limb. We will spend approximately four weeks for each region, paralleling the regional time frame in BMS 575, human dissection. Each region of study will include lectures; cross sectional orientations, individual RamCT cross sectional assignments, group presentations covering group assigned clinical cases, and a quiz.
