COURSE GOAL
AND
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The principal goal of the course
is for students to acquire a sound knowledge
of the gross anatomy of the head and neck.
APPROACHES USED TO
ACHIEVE COURSE GOAL
•Lectures
•Laboratory Dissection
•Case Studies
LECTURES
•Will provide a thorough, well-organized
treatment of the anatomy of a particular
region (a list of learning objectives
precedes each lecture outline in the syllabus)
•Important anatomical facts and
concepts will be covered
•All lectures are in Room C, and will last
~ 50 minutes

Purpose is to help students
understand the relevance of
anatomy to their future
clinical practice
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Students are expected to attend ALL
lectures, labs and case studies
Active participation in the lab
(engaging in the dissection process)
is ESSENTIAL for every student

COMPETENCY EXAM
Students who earn a grade of 60 – 69
in the course will be allowed to take a
competency exam. This exam will be
comprehensive and will include both
a lab and a written component. If a
student earns a grade of > 70 on this
exam, he/she will receive the lowest
possible passing grade for the course
(ie, 70 = C).
REMEDIATION POLICY
In the event that a student receives
a grade of F for the course, he/she
will be required to take a remedial
course in head and neck gross anatomy
during the summer.
COURSE EVALUATION
ANATOMY STUDY TIPS
ANATOMY STUDY TIPS
•Anatomy is a visual science. Try to visualize
your cadaver dissection and use an atlas when
studying notes at home.
•Try to put the anatomical information you learn
in a clinical context (eg, what would be the
deficits if this nerve were cut, or this artery
ligated?)
•Periodically use a systemic approach to studying anatomy
(eg, review all of the branches of the trigeminal nerve)
•Study with a group (eg, review lab dissections
with classmates)
•Focus attention on the nervous system
•Keep up with dissections and study lecture notes daily
