The course in anatomy is a central focus of basic science education in the Physician Assistant Program. During this course the student is introduced to gross anatomy presented by the regional approach. The student becomes familiar with the chest, upper extremity, abdomen, pelvis, lower extremity, neck, head and the central nervous system. Whenever appropriate, clinical correlations are made both from a diagnostic and operative point of view. Instruction is primarily in lecture and lab format, however atlases and other visual aides are available. (8.0 credits)
