Foundation of clinical excellence.
The Department of Anatomy provides a strong foundation in the structural organization of the human body through gross anatomy, histology, embryology and genetics. Teaching blends regional, systemic, clinical, cross-sectional and radiological approaches so every student moves from structure to function to bedside relevance.
Students gain hands-on skills in cadaver dissection, preservation and histological techniques in a department equipped with a fully air-conditioned lecture hall, two demonstration rooms, dedicated histology and dissection halls, an embalming room, a 500+ specimen museum and a research laboratory with advanced microscopes.
Mission
To develop competent, ethical healthcare professionals with a strong foundation in anatomical sciences and lifelong learning.
