ANT 4002: Advanced Dissection Topic

The Advanced Dissection Topic is an elective course that allows OMS III and OMS IV students to create a regional dissection to gain a deeper understanding of the anatomy and clinical topics associated with the chosen region. Students will schedule a four-week period to complete their dissections. No exam will be given, rather students will create a video lecture DSA for OMS I students, write a clinical/pathologic correlation paper and write 10 board-style questions focusing on the clinical anatomy of the specified region to be used on OMS I Written Exams. Students will schedule and deliver a formal presentation of their dissection, along with relevant clinical correlations that may have contributed to their patients’ morbidity or mortality. Course faculty will assess validity of student clinical opinion and appropriate clinical anatomy knowledge supported through dissection. Prerequisites: Completion of all OMS III Core Courses.
