Applied Human Anatomy

4.0 credits

This course analyzes the structural composition of the human body from cellular to organ levels. The goal is to provide a foundation in human anatomy appropriate for students interested in the bioscience and health care professions (e.g. nursing, physical therapy, medicine, bioengineering). Learning objectives will be achieved through a combination of lecture and hands-on (laboratory) approaches, reinforced by clinical examples and analysis of how biomedical devices interface with anatomical structures. In addition, students will participate in small group discussions of clinical case studies, make group presentations of topic appropriate biomedical devices, and prepare a term paper on the subject of their choice selected from a list of topics generated by the instructor.
