Division of Human Anatomy

The Division of Human Anatomy is responsible for Surgery 203, Human Anatomy for medical students, and Surgery 101, Human Anatomy for undergraduate students.  Both courses are aimed at providing a strong foundation in the structure and function of the human body.  The courses are based on concepts of anatomy, but the Division also emphasizes the clinical importance of anatomical knowledge.

Our Philosophy

The teaching of human anatomy is an essential element in medical education.  We strongly believe that the laboratory experience based on the dissection of the human body should remain the cornerstone of anatomy training for medical students. More »

How to Help

We in the Division of Human Anatomy are responsible caretakers for the Willed “Whole” Body Donation Program.  We accept donations which have been bequeathed, primarily for the teaching of anatomy (body structure), to students. More »
