Medical Gross Anatomy

ANNB 301 / 60106 / 8 credits
Elizabeth Ezerman
Course Dates: June 15 - July 25, 2009
Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm

Overview

This course includes a complete cadaver dissection and evaluation in embryology. Emphasis is placed on individualized laboratory instruction in a relaxed atmosphere, with much student-teacher contact.

The same professors who teach medical gross anatomy during the regular medical school year teach it again for the Summer Medical Program. In fact, the course is equivalent to the traditional gross anatomy course taught to medical students at UVM (prior to the UVM College of Medicine's current integrated curriculum).

Prerequisites

The course is limited to medical, osteopathic, podiatric, and dental students currently enrolled in their respective schools who have not satisfied their gross anatomy requirement.

A letter attesting to the applicant's academic status and approving enrollment in this course must be sent by the dean or other appropriate official of the applicant's home institution to Dr. Elizabeth Ezerman, Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, C427 Given Building, University of Vermont College of Medicine, Burlington, VT 05405-0068.

No textbook is required for this summer course. Grant's Dissector is used in the laboratory. Any standard medical gross anatomy text and atlas may be used. Students often like to purchase our syllabus (the "redbook"), available in the UVM bookstore, but this is not necessary.
