This lecture and laboratory course covers classic human embryology with an emphasis on clinical consequences related to congenital anomalies. Additionally, specific lectures in clinical developmental biology with an emphasis on cell and molecular biology will supplement the descriptive embryology and will include topics currently being researched by Rochester faculty. The course will meet each week for 3 hours during the Spring semester and each weekly session will include 2 didactic/discussion hours and 1 hour of laboratory viewing the Carnegie Collection of human embryos. Student participation, a midterm library research presentation and final essay exam will form the basis for student evaluation. (spring)
