MSMS 500 Gross Anatomy, Embryology, and Imaging

This course consists of a detailed study of the normal structure, development, and organization of the human body. This course takes a regional approach, rather than a systemic approach to Human Gross Anatomy, Embryology & Imaging and is distributed into three block contents. Gross structures are studied in the laboratory or virtual lab setting by specimen prosection and demonstration. The radiology component of Gross Anatomy serves as the introduction to radiology and prepares the student for further development. Lectures stress the contribution of developmental events to gross anatomical organization and the correlation of this organization with clinically relevant conditions. The course is delivered in the form of recorded lectures with accompanying in class-sessions using the flipped classroom model. Corequisites: MSMS 500, MSMS 501, and MSMS 503. (9)
