HTL 504 - Anatomical Foundations

5 Credit Hours
The course is divided into 4 modular units of learning which include: back & upper extremities; head and neck; thorax & abdomen; pelvis & lower extremity. This course affords the student a coherent, sequential approach to the study of human anatomy at the gross level with applied clinical relationships. The general objective is for the experience of a visual concept of the human body to relate this to future professional settings. This experience is extrapolated by way of a virtual lab providing the student with the anatomical basis for understanding and appreciating the variations and complexities of the human body. Students should be able to demonstrate to each other all the different normal structures detailed in the student learning objectives for specific modules. Students should be able to integrate materials in a particular module to talk about clinical/surgical functions. These objectives are evaluated by clinical scenario types of questions on exams.
