ANATD 1554: Medical Anatomy I

Program
College/Program
Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine
Credits 5.5

This is the first course in a two-course sequence that presents the macro- and microscopic structure and function of the human body in a blend of regional and systemic approaches. The courses also incorporate embryological development and the developmental basis of major congenital anomalies. Students will learn to apply anatomical knowledge to clinical practice through traditional lectures and dissections of anatomical donors combined with innovative workshops incorporating augmented reality, ultrasound imaging, and digital microscopy of human tissues. Medical Anatomy I covers the morphological characteristics of the four tissue types, the gross anatomy of the back, upper limb, thorax and abdomen, and the embryological development and microscopic morphology of corresponding and relevant organ systems and structures.
