The Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology provides
instruction in human anatomy, histology, cytology, embryology,
and neuroscience designed for students in the medical, dental,
and allied health science professions and for undergraduate preprofessional
students. Elective courses are offered for advanced students and
residents. The Department also maintains strong research, graduate,
and postdoctoral programs in the anatomical sciences with a special
emphasis on neuroscience. The graduate, research, and teaching
programs provide the academic background for students pursuing
careers as faculty members in the basic medical sciences. The department's
faculty members also offer an M.D./Ph.D. program and other opportunities
for health science students to participate in basic medical science
research programs.
The teaching philosophy of the Anatomy and Neurobiology
Department is to provide current and clinically relevant content
and concepts in the anatomical sciences for all health science
students. Research activities enhance the teaching programs and
provide regular and important contributions to a better understanding
of the basic science aspects of human health problems. Teaching
methods are selected to enhance the development of lifelong learning
and problem-solving skills. These methods include large-group interactive
sessions, small-group teaching, computer-assisted learning programs,
and video technology.
Anatomy and Neurobiology assumes the primary
responsibilities for instruction in the Human Structure and Basic
Neuroscience Blocks of the first year of the medical curriculum.
Faculty members from surgery, diagnostic radiology, pathology,
physiology, neurology, and psychiatry contribute to the planning
and teaching of these integrated curriculum components.
The official department course listings may be
found on the UK
Registrar's website.
