Anatomy

Departmental Objectives

At the end of the Anatomy course, the students should be able to:

  • mention, identify, show, draw and describe the structural components of the body responsible for carrying out normal body functions;
  • use the above knowledge to understand, correlate and appreciate the other pre-clinical, para-clinical, and clinical medical subjects;
  • apply the knowledge of Anatomy with the knowledge of other medical subjects to provide optimum health services in the country and abroad.

List of Competencies to acquire :

  • Adequate knowledge of the structural components of the body & correlate it with normal body functions.
  • Using the above knowledge to understand,  correlate and appreciate the other subjects to be taught in the para-clinical and clinical medical courses.
  • Applying the knowledge of Anatomy with the knowledge of other medical subjects to provide optimum health services in the country and abroad.
