Program Description
The M.S. in Clinical Anatomy program offers post-baccalaureate training in the anatomical sciences, a fundamental cornerstone for understanding health and disease. This program will provide students with an in-depth understanding of human anatomy and medical physiology, and the skills to apply this knowledge to teach or work in medical fields. This program has two (2) concentrations. All students completing the program will be knowledgeable in detailed human anatomy, embryology, histology, clinical imaging, and physiology. Completion of the first year courses will provide students with a strong foundation for medical school. The second year courses, depending upon the concentration completed, students will gain additional knowledge and skills to teach these topics to professional students, or to successfully engage in research.
