ANA 508. Applied Human Anatomy

Associate Professor Piekut and staff

Prerequisites: ANA 526 or equivalent

Credit: variable

This elective in Applied Human Anatomy is designed for students who wish to review gross anatomy and pursue advanced and specialized anatomical dissections in their specific area of interest. This elective will be student-directed and tailored to each student's needs. Each student will define their learning objectives and enroll for the appropriate time needed (1-4 weeks) to accomplish these goals. Student time will be divided between cadaver dissections and preparation for presentations. The elective will facilitate active learning by creating a rich, student-directed learning environment. The weekly presentations will formalize this exchange of knowledge and allow the group to be exposed to areas of review that they did not directly dissect. This elective is offered to both fourth year medical students and advanced graduate students who have previously completed a course in Human Gross Anatomy. (spring)
