"A field however fertile, cannot be fruitful without cultivation, and neither can a mind without learning"
Medical
The Department of Anatomy teaches human anatomy according to organ systems, in a manner that makes it clinically relevant and facilitates integration with other medical disciplines. Subcategories of human anatomy include gross anatomy, embryology and developmental anatomy, histology, and neuroscience. Our students receive the most comprehensive exposure to Human Anatomy through prosected cadaveric specimens, large and small group discussions, and collaborative learning cases over the first two years of their journey through medical school.
Dental
First year dental students are taught human gross anatomy including its subcategories of gross anatomy, embryology and developmental anatomy, histology, and neuroscience. While students are taught whole body human anatomy, particular attention is given to head and neck anatomy which is of direct relevance to the practice of dentistry. .
Life Sciences
Introductory human anatomy is taught to life sciences students through lectures, and prosected cadaveric specimens.
Pharmacy
Pharmacy students are taught human anatomy through lectures, and prosected cadaveric specimens to further their understanding of the action of drugs.
Undergraduate Research Opportunity Programme in Science (UROPS)
The department offers a broad spectrum of research projects for medical and Life Sciences students.
