Anatomy I ANAT 301. Course Description

Transcription

1 Anatomy I ANAT 301 Course Description This course provides the students with lectures and comprehensive overview of the gross anatomy of the osteomyoarticular system and peripheral nervous system, with consideration of relationships of various anatomical structures. The interpretation of normal medical imaging studies is also highlighted. Credit: 3 semester credits Repeatable: No Course Structure The course includes 35 lectures, 9 laboratory sessions, 3 quizzes, 3 unified exams and post exam reviews. Objectives: By the end of the course, students should be able to: be familiarized with anatomical principles and correlate structure with function understand the scientific basis of anatomy explain the features related to each structure (form, location, relationships) explain the basic structural organization of the vertebrate body plan apply the anatomical knowledge on interpretation of symptoms and signs of common diseases apply their basic knowledge of anatomical structures to interpret normal medical imaging studies communicate information about body structure using language appropriate to professional colleagues and to the lay person recognize common abnormalities practice dissection and acquire manual skills which are required for simple clinical procedures, and for the routine examination of patients identify all the major structures of the human body on dissected bodies, pictures and medical imaging studies Pursue independent, self-directed and critical learning.

5 The unified exams I and II will be taken on Friday in week # 5, and # 10. Each exam will include the entire topics covered in each block. The unified exam III will be taken during the final week of the term according with the schedule. Quizzes and exams will be on USMLE (multiple choice) format and will include pictures, X-rays, CT scan and MRI. According to USMLE procedures, the times allocated for completing an exam will be approximately one minute per number of exam questions. Exams will be revised in full after examination.
