Message From the Program Director
The Anatomy Graduate Program provides a strong academic foundation in human anatomical sciences.
The anatomy curriculum comprises discipline-specific courses in human gross anatomy, human microscopic anatomy and human embryology, integrated with courses in neuroanatomy, cell biology and systems biology.
Doctoral anatomy students have the unique opportunity to participate in all aspects of teaching in the medical school environment.
Students will also conduct hypothesis-driven basic, clinical or translational research under the mentorship of leading biomedical scientists.
The Anatomy Graduate Program participates in the Dual-Title Clinical and Translational Science Program, as well as the MD/PhD Medical Scientist Training Program at the College of Medicine.
