The Department of Anatomical Sciences serves as a foundational component of medical education, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the structure, organization, and developmental processes of the human body. Through an integrated curriculum that encompasses gross anatomy, histology, embryology, and neuroanatomy, the department ensures that medical students acquire the essential knowledge and spatial awareness necessary for clinical practice. Laboratory-based instruction—including cadaveric dissection, microscopic examination of tissues, and the study of developmental stages—enables students to explore anatomical relationships in detail and develop critical observational and analytical skills. Faculty members engage in research across diverse areas such as anatomical variation, tissue biology, developmental anomalies, neuroanatomical mapping, and applied anatomical sciences relevant to clinical specialties. By collaborating with clinical departments, surgical units, and research laboratories, the Department of Anatomical Sciences supports the integration of basic science with medical training, enhances the accuracy of clinical reasoning, and contributes to advancing educational methods in anatomy. Through its commitment to rigorous teaching and scientific inquiry, the department plays a central role in shaping competent and knowledgeable future physicians.
