Applied Anatomy/MD

Our joint MD/MS program is suited for students seeking advanced training in the anatomical sciences, as it will prepare you for an anatomy-focused speciality such as surgery, pathology or radiology. 

You’ll have hands-on cadaver dissection experiences and you’ll take classes such historiology, neuroanatomy and embryology, completing the anatomical sciences core curriculum during your first two years of medical school (and an advanced surgical anatomy class in your fourth year). Additionally, you’ll complete an anatomy-oriented independent research project. And, with more than three dozen elective options, you can tailor your schedule to fit your needs and interests. 
 

Our program thrives when we have students with diverse perspectives and a range of educational, professional and life experiences. We look forward to learning more about you!
