About Department

Department of Anatomy is responsible for teaching pre-clinical cadets. The department teaches various disciplines of Anatomy namely Gross Anatomy, Embryology, Neuro Anatomy, Histology, Radiological Anatomy and Living Anatomy providing special emphasis on general, applied and functional aspects. It comprises of dedicated, caring and well-experienced faculty members. The department has well-established and spacious dissection hall, histology lab and museum. Dissection hall is well ventilated, large with good lighting system. There are 6 cadavers with sufficient dissection instruments and also have 3 sets of fresh viscera. Museum is equipped with models and charts of gross anatomy, embryology and histology with specimen jar and preserved viscera which help to get clear concepts of complex human anatomy to students. The motto of this department is to provide quality medical education in human anatomy by applying innovative teaching and learning strategies and to integrate this knowledge with other basic and clinical medical subjects for complete understanding of common diseases. Three academic terms cater for 530 hours out of which theoretical lecturers cover 115 hours and rest 415 hours are for practical, dissection and demonstration classes.

• apply the acquired knowledge to understand and correlate the other pre-clinical, para-clinical and clinical medical subjects.
• execute the acquired 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:

• Ability to demonstrate knowledge & skill of understanding human anatomy, functions of different components of human body, cell biology and human development in clinical perspective.
