Summer Program: Human Gross Anatomy

Course Description

 

 

The Summer Human Gross Anatomy course at The Boonshoft School of Medicine is a rigorous six-week cadaver-based course designed for medical students who need to repeat a course in human gross anatomy. The course meets the same standards and covers the same human gross anatomy material as the course offered during the academic year.

Regions covered include:

  • Upper extremity
  • Back
  • Thorax
  • Head and neck
  • Abdomen
  • Pelvis, and
  • Lower extremity

The course will consist of a lecture and laboratory portion. In this lecture and laboratory course, we review the entire anatomy of the human body and emphasize the clinical relevance of the subject matter. A complete dissection of the human body is required to complete this course successfully. Schedule Draft (PDF)

The course will meet each day, and faculty will be present during the dissections for personal interaction, to answer questions, and to facilitate proper dissection.

Students will have access to the Gross Anatomy Lab 24 hours a day, including weekends. Each student will have access to human bones, X-rays, CTs, and MRIs.
