COURSE GOAL AND

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The principal goal of the course is for students to acquire a sound knowledge of the gross anatomy of the head and neck.

APPROACHES USED TO ACHIEVE COURSE GOAL

•Lectures•Laboratory Dissection•Case Studies

LECTURES •Will provide a thorough, well-organized treatment of the anatomy of a particular region (a list of learning objectives precedes each lecture outline in the syllabus)

•Important anatomical facts and concepts will be covered

•All lectures are in Room C, and will last ~ 50 minutes

Purpose is to help students understand the relevance of anatomy to their future clinical practice

ATTENDANCE POLICY

Attendance of ALL scheduledlectures, labs and case studiesis MANDATORY

Active participation in the lab (engaging in the dissection process)is ESSENTIAL for every student

COMPETENCY EXAM

Students who earn a grade of 60 – 69in the course will be allowed to take acompetency exam. This exam will becomprehensive and will include botha lab and a written component. If a student earns a grade of > 70 on thisexam, he/she will receive the lowest possible passing grade for the course(ie, 70 = C).

COURSE EVALUATION

ANATOMY STUDY TIPS

ANATOMY STUDY TIPS

•Anatomy is a visual science. Try to visualizeyour cadaver dissection and use an atlas when studying notes at home.

•Try to put the anatomical information you learn in a clinical context (eg, what would be the deficits if this nerve were cut, or this artery ligated?)

•Periodically use a systemic approach to studying anatomy(eg, review all of the branches of the trigeminal nerve)

•Study with a group (eg, review lab dissections with classmates)

•Focus attention on the nervous system

•Keep up with dissections and study lecture notes daily
