The Master of Science in Human Anatomy is a one-year intensive program specifically crafted to deliver advanced education in clinically relevant human anatomy.
While employing diverse teaching methods, cadaveric dissection remains a fundamental element of this program, conducted in our cutting-edge FLAME laboratory. The FLAME laboratory derives its name from the Flame sculpture, created to honor the generosity of individuals who donate their bodies for medical education and research purposes.
This MSc program aims to strengthen and enhance participants' anatomical expertise and dissection techniques. Required courses explore various anatomical disciplines including gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, and human embryology, while optional modules cater to students with varied academic interests.
Students can cultivate radiological competencies through the Radiological Imaging module (AN6009). Beyond theoretical instruction, participants will gain hands-on experience with multiple imaging technologies such as CT, MRI, ultrasound, and PET. No previous imaging experience is required for enrollment.
