ANA 6000  Clinical Anatomy  (3 Units)  

Study of structural organization of the human body from cellular to organ system level of organization and its application to clinical scenarios. Gross and microscopic anatomy of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems of the human body.

ANA 6001  Anatomy  (5 Units)  

This course is designed to develop an understanding of normal clinical anatomy through an integrated anatomical approach to the study of human body structure. Students will work in small groups and actively participate in full anatomy cadaver dissection labs. These labs are complemented with lectures covering the systematic and developmental anatomy of the human body within a clinical context.

ANA 6003  Teaching and Learning Anatomy  (1 Unit)  

In this course, student will gain a theoretical understanding of the skills and pedagogical approaches needed for the teaching of human anatomy using evidence-based approaches.

ANA 6004  Anatomy Clinical Practice  (2 Units)  

In this course, learners will have the opportunity to work alongside a faculty member to engage with anatomy students. Learners will have the opportunity to work with anatomy students in lecture and laboratory setup. They will use evidence-based approaches to prepare and deliver learning materials.

Prerequisite(s): ANA 6003; ANA 5000 or ANA 6000; and ANA 4002 or ANA 5002 or ANA 6001 or ANA 6002  
ANA 6075  Gross Anatomy of the Musculoskeletal System  (3 Units)  

This course provides students with an intensive four-week experience in anatomical cadaver dissection and the application of structure to kinesiological function. The primary purpose of this course is to provide clinicians with a solid anatomical basis for understanding normal and abnormal function of the musculoskeletal system. This information is essential for the development of effective treatment interventions.

Prerequisite(s): Human Anatomy and Physiology or consent of instructor.  
Fee: There is an additional fee of $400 to supplement cadaver dissection associated with this course.
